AbstractIn the abstract, you must (1) present the problem of the

thesis/dissertation, (2) discuss the materials and methods used, and (3) state

the conclusions reached. Individual chapters should not have abstracts. Note

that this should be the first numbered page: it is page iv; pages i, ii and iii

(copyright, signature page and abstract signature page) were counted but

not numbered. If you look ahead, you will see that numbering up to the first

page of text is in roman numerals. On the first page of Introduction or

Chapter One, begin numbering at Arabic number 1. This numbering (1, 2, 3,

4…) is consecutive through the rest of the document.

1.2 Section Breaks!!!!

This template has most of the formatting done for you. However, as

you add your content, there are some things you should be aware of. First,

in the Insert menu, there an option break… This was used in this template to

insert section break-next page between chapters in order for footnote

numbering to restart. This is also how page numbering has restarted on this

page (roman numerals were used in the forward.)

1.3 Adding a Figure

To add a figure, in this case a clip art duck, use the insert menu to add

a picture. After it is inserted, right click on the image and choose Format

Picture… In the Layout tab, choose In line with text. Next, center the image

with the center button on the tool bar. Finally, right click on the image again

and choose Caption… You should choose Label: Figure and Position: Below

selected item. In the top text area, type in a colon (:) and the information

that you want to appear as a caption. The word Figure will be added

automatically. At the top of the next page, you should see a well-formatted

demonstration duck complete with caption.

Figure 1: Demonstration Duck. Frequently used by dissertation & thesis template authors to demonstrate appropriate line spacing

for figure captions.

3

This figure is centered between margins. However, the left margin is

1.5 inches and the right margin is only 1 inch, so the figure appears offset

somewhat. Note the single spaced caption.

1.4 Adding a Table

Adding a table in portrait page orientation is not difficult. To add a

caption, highlight the entire table, right click and choose Caption…as you

would with a figure. However, for tables, you should choose Label: Table

and Position: Above selected item.

Table 1: Loka and Terno. Note that this very long caption is single spaced both in the text and in the list of tables.

1.5 Updating your TOC and Lists of Figures and Tables

To update the table of contents, the list of figures or the list of tables

(they are found back in the roman numeral pages,) go back to that TOC or

list and right click on it. Choose Update field and then Update entire table.

All page number references are inserted and/or updated automatically. Do

this every time you open the document. Frequently (and especially for long

documents) the TOC will “grab” page numbers before the whole document is

loaded, which results in a wacky TOC.

1.6 Adding a Table in Landscape Orientation

Adding a table, figure or other content in landscape orientation is a

little more tricky, as your page number must still appear as if you are in

portrait orientation. To do this, you must insert two section break- next page

(which is not just a page break, be careful that you get the one under section

break types!) Go to the view menu and change to normal if you are not there

already. You should see two double lines labeled Section Break (Next Page).

Place your cursor between these section breaks and go to the file menu and

choose Page Setup… You should chose landscape orientation, and make

sure that your margins are as follows: top 1.5 inches, other sides 1inch. Also,

be sure that you have chosen Apply to This section or you will make the rest

of (or maybe all) your document landscape oriented.

The next part, dealing with page numbers, can be difficult depending

on the version of Word that you are using. This template was developed in

MS Word 2003; there is documentation available for other versions of Word

online. If these steps don’t work, you can find alternate workarounds by

searching for “adding portrait numbers to landscape pages.”

To make the numbering scheme work, first go to the View menu and

choose Header and Footer. Place your cursor in the footer of the first page

to have landscape orientation and, and on the Header and Footer menu that

appeared when you went to that view, press the Link to Previous button. The

go to the footer of the first page that is back in portrait orientation and do

the same thing. This button toggles a header or footer’s connection to the

6

previous pages setup. You want to BREAK this connection before and after

the landscape page so that you can move and reorient the landscape page

formatting without affecting other pages.

After this is done, you can click on the page number of the landscape

page and drag it to the left side of the page, which will be the bottom once it

is stacked with other portrait pages. To orient the page number in the

correct direction: while the page number box is still selected, go to the

Format menu and choose Text Direction. Choose the option that orients the

bottom of the page number to the left side of the page.

The final step is to confirm that your landscape page number is

aligned with portrait page numbers. To do this, print one portrait page and

your landscape page, stack them as if they were bound and hold them up to

a light. You can see then how to adjust your landscape page number box.

You can add a caption to your content just as you would in portrait

view. This is shown on the next page…

2. What will help you with your format check?We have added a note about embedding your fonts in the pdf that you

submit. Be sure to do this—lest your draft be flagged and your life ensnarled

in correcting mechanical issues like this (instead of making the substantive

changes your advisor suggests so that you can move on with your life.) Read

more in the next section after briefly admiring the demonstration donkey,

below.

Figure 4: Demonstration Donkey

Aenean congue rutrum velit. Nam bibendum elit faucibus nisi. Fusce

interdum aliquet elit. Nunc malesuada quam sed augue.

2.1 Embed your fonts

This guidance assumes you are writing your manuscript in MS Word

on a PC and converting to a pdf with Acrobat Professional; these are both

publicly available on computers all over campus. The instructions below will

guide you through making changes in both Word and Acrobat; both are

required. If you are using a Mac or some other pdf creator, similar guidance

should exist in help files.

10

2.1.1 Embed Fonts in Word

To begin with, create your manuscript using a TrueType font—NOT a

scalable font. Not sure if your font is TrueType? In MS Word, if you look at

the drop down menu for fonts, you will see a TT logo next to the TrueType

fonts. Note that the directions here are for Word 2003; your mileage may

vary somewhat if you are using an older or newer version; it should not be

too different, though. So, back to the steps for embedding fonts:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab.

2. Select the "Embed TrueType fonts" check box.

3. Make sure to DESELECT both “Embed characters in use only” and

“Do not embed commonly used system fonts.”

4. Hit OK then save the document.

2.1.2 Embed in Acrobat Professional

Next, you should follow the excellent instructions for embedding fonts in

Acrobat Professional inspired by the Graduate Thesis Office at Iowa State

University:

1. Open your document in Microsoft Word.

2. Click on the Adobe PDF tab at top. Select "Change Conversion

Settings."

3. Click on Advanced Settings.

4. Click on the Fonts folder on the left side of the new window. In the

lower box on the right, delete any fonts that appear in the "Never

Embed" box. Then click "OK."

11

5. From “Font source,” add all fonts that you are using in your

thesis/dissertation. Then click "OK."

6. Save as (give these settings a name, like embedallfonts.jobinfo)

7. Check the box in the lower left corner marked “Show all settings.”

8. When prompted to save your changes, click on OK.

9. The OK option is grayed out now; to bring it back to life, click on

“Save as” and then “Cancel.” Yes, this is a hack, but it will get you to

your hooding ceremony on time.

10.Click on OK and OK again.

11.Click on the Adobe PDF link at the top again. This time select Convert

to Adobe PDF. Depending on the size of your document and the speed

of your computer, this process can take 1-15 minutes.

12.After your document is converted and opened in Adobe Acrobat,

select the "File" tab at the top of the page. Then select "Document

Properties."

13.Click on the "Fonts" tab. Carefully check all of your fonts. They should

all show "(Embedded Subset)" after the font name.

14.If you see "(Embedded Subset)" after all fonts, you have succeeded,

you may pass go, collect $200, etc. Good luck at your defense!

BiographyA brief biography, ordinarily not more than one page in length, is

required in doctoral dissertations. Masters theses should not contain

this section; include it only in doctoral dissertations. Your biography

should include (1) the place and date of your birth, (2) the colleges and

universities that you attended with the degrees received and their dates, (3)

the titles of all books and articles you have published, and (4) a list of

scholarships, fellowships, memberships in honorary societies, and academic

honors you have received since obtaining the bachelor’s degree. The bio

should appear on the very last page of your dissertation.
