Study the Instructions for Using the LaTeX ETDR Template (PDF) and the Using the LaTex Template for the ETDR video.Create a new directory named "latex_source" and use an appropriate utility to decompress the file into this directory. The template consists of several files compressed into a single file.The same template is used for doctoral and masters papers. If you write your ETDR in LaTeX, you are not required to use this template. The template is configured with page margins and other formatting required by the Graduate School and will automatically generate a table of contents, a list of figures, and a list of tables. The template will not compile with "regular" LaTeX. The LaTeX template uses a separate file for each section of your ETDR and is designed to be compiled with PDFLaTex. If you are not familiar with Styles, read the Styles instructions for your Word version (go to Using Word, select your Word version, and click About Styles). The template makes extensive use of Styles (the "power tools" in Word).It illustrates Word features such as heading levels, images, tables, and captions. Delete sample text in the template when it is no longer needed.

If your major professor only wants one chapter at a time, show them how easy it is to go directly to the chapter they want by clicking in the Table of Contents or using the Navigation Pane (click it on the View tab).Delete the other sections (Abstract, Copyright, Acknowledgements, etc.) and add them back in when you are almost finished.

Want to focus on writing? Keep just the Title, Table of Contents, and Chapter 1 heading, and start writing.

#LATEXIT WORD DOWNLOAD#
To avoid these issues, be sure to download and use the Graduate School's Word or LaTeX templates below rather than one inherited from another graduate student. Many times these templates are broken, incorrect, or outdated. Note: Using a shared template rather than downloading a new one can result in functionality problems. Though not required, you are strongly encouraged to use one of the templates below to prepare your ETDR. Templates, Tools, and Resources ETDR Templates
