ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

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

These pages are where you type in the front matter of your thesis. To best preserve the proper

formatting and margin alignment, you should do this one page at a time. On the title page of each

section, you can type in your information; however, on the first page of each section, you should

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

much content so that it created another 2 margin page below, delete the content on the following

second page and backspace until you are back on the first page. If you do not do this, the marginswill be incorrect on the following pages. You will need to change the line spacing to double

space on this page only. This option is found through the small arrow in the bottom right corner

of the Paragraph option above.

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

onto following page of the template and add the rest of the content of the section by either typing

or copying and pasting. This template is best used for directly typing in your content. However,

you can paste text into the document, but use caution as pasting can produce varying results.

Remember to apply these rules throughout the rest of the document as the breaks have to be

preserved to ensure proper formatting. If you are having difficulties using this template please

read the Templates User Guide and Maintaining Pagination instructions from the Graduate

College website.

your acknowledgments just place the cursor after the last typed word on the page and press delete

until you see the Table of Contents page appear directly below this page.

Make sure the Table of Contents page below has a 2 margin before continuing.
