Preface

It is recommended that acknowledgments, nomenclature used, and similar items should be included in the Preface.

The Preface is optional. If you wish to delete the Preface, you need to place the cursor in the Preface title and apply the Normal style to remove the currently applied style. Then delete the Preface content, being careful not to delete the preceding and subsequent sections.

Heading 1

You will start your main text at this level. You should apply the Normal style to any text sections in your document. To show how paragraphs and sections will style, we have inserted standard Lorem ipsum text as a placeholder.

To insert a new subsection, press Return to start a new line and then select the Heading 2 style from the Style menu. To start a new main section press Return and select the Heading 1 style.

Appendices contain supplementary or illustrative material or explanatory data too lengthy to be included in the text or not immediately essential to the reader’s understanding of the text.

When using the Appendix Style, type the title of the Appendix section after the inserted heading.

Letters

To insert a subsection in the Appendix, use the App Section Style to create each subsection. Appendix Sub-subsection.

Appendix Figure 1 Paragraph Mark

Be sure to use the Appendix Figure or Appendix Table labels if you wish to start a new numbering format for these figures. If you want to continue the numbering sequence from the body of the tex, simply use the labels Figure or Table

To create alternate Appendix Figure/Table caption labels, begin by inserting a caption as you would for any other figure or table. Then use the new label button to specify a new label for the caption. You will need to either create a separate list of figures/tables for these labels or use the ETD formatting guide for creating custom Appendix labels.

Section Examples

If your Appendix requires further subsections, use the App Subsection Style to continue adding content.

Appendix Sub-section

Bibliography

To enter references for your work use the Bibliography Entry style. Single-spaced within entries. Usually ‘hanging’ from the second line on, like this. The default format will be block justified but you can make the entries left justified if desired. (The latter often helps URLs not cause spacing issues.)

Here are some examples from different styles.
