CHAPTER I

TYPE TITLE HERE

Note: Please read the directions in the following paragraph very carefully before proceeding.

These pages are where you type in the title of your chapter and add the body (text, images, etc.)

of your thesis. To best preserve the proper formatting and margin alignment, you should do this

one chapter at a time. On the title page of the chapter, you can type in the title of your chapter

over the placeholder text if necessary. Then, directly under the chapter title, you can begin either

typing in or pasting the body of your first chapter. However, on this first page, you should only

add enough content to fill this first page. If you typed in too much content or pasted in too much

content so that it created another page, delete this content on the second page and backspace until

you are back on the first page. If you do not do this, the margins may be incorrect on the

following pages.

Once you have the correct amount of content on the first page, you must then move your cursor

onto page 2 of the template and add the rest of the content of chapter one by either typing or

copying and pasting.
