Enter an abstract of your thesis, of no more than 500 words, replacing this paragraph. Enter one

space between sentences. You do not need to leave a blank line after each paragraph, as paragraphs

use the ‘Body Text’ style. The ‘Body Text’ style has 1.5 line spacing, and extra vertical space at the

end of each paragraph. The keyboard shortcut for ‘Body Text’ is Alt+B. One method of applying the

‘Body Text’ style to your paragraph is to place the cursor somewhere on the paragraph, and press

Alt+B. Another method of applying the ‘Body Text’ style to your paragraph is to place the cursor

somewhere on the paragraph, and click on the ‘Body Text’ button in the Styles Group of the Home

ribbon.

Keywords: Enter your list of up to 20 keywords here, separated by commas.

iii

Acknowledgements

Enter your acknowledgements here. This area also uses the ‘Body Text’ style. The heading

‘Acknowledgements’ uses the ‘Heading MyL1’ style. Use the ‘Heading MyL1’ style on page headings

like ‘Acknowledgements’, ‘Table of Contents’, ‘List of Tables’, ‘List of Figures’, ‘References’, etc., ie all

page headings except for Chapter titles. To apply the ‘Heading MyL1’ style, place the cursor on the

heading, and click on the ‘Heading MyL1’ button (it looks like ‘Heading...’) in the Styles Group of the

Home ribbon.

Introduction

Replace these words with your own.

The chapter heading uses the ‘Heading 1’ style. To apply the ‘Heading 1’ style to your text, select the

text, and press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+1 (or click on the ‘Heading 1’ button in the Styles

Group of the Home ribbon). If you create your own chapter heading elsewhere in this document,

press Shift+Enter after the automatically generated chapter number to force the text of your

heading onto a separate line from the chapter number. (When the ¶ button is pressed, you will see a

curved-arrow symbol where you pressed Shift+Enter.)

Paragraphs in the chapters use the ‘Body Text’ style. To apply the ‘Body Text’ style to your text,

select the text, and press the keyboard shortcut Alt+B (or click on the ‘Body Text’ button in the

Styles Group of the Home ribbon).

1.1 A sample second-level heading

A second-level heading uses the ‘Heading 2’ style. To create your own second-level heading

elsewhere in this document, type in the heading, press Enter, then select the line containing the

heading, and press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+2 (or click on the ‘Heading 2’ button in the Styles

Group of the Home ribbon).

Chapter 2

Enter Your Chapter Title Here

2.1 A sample second-level heading

Replace the content of this page with your own content.

2.1.1 A sample third-level heading

A third level heading uses the ‘Heading 3’ style. To create your own third-level heading elsewhere in

this document, type in the heading, press Enter, then select the line containing the heading, and

press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+3 (or click on the ‘Heading 3’ button in the Styles Group of the

Home ribbon).

The paragraphs use the ‘Body Text’ style.

A sample fourth-level heading

A fourth level heading uses the ‘Heading 4’ style. To create your own fourth-level heading elsewhere

in this document, type in the heading, press Enter, then select the line containing the heading, and

press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+4 (or click on the ‘Heading 4’ button in the Styles Group of the

Home ribbon).

Automatic-numbering is turned off in this template for the ‘Heading 4’ style, and the headings do

not appear in the Table of Contents by default. Both of these settings can be changed if your

Supervisor wishes.

A sample fifth-level heading

A fifth level heading uses the ‘Heading 5’ style. The keyboard shortcut for ‘Heading 5’ is Ctrl+Alt+5.

This style in included for convenience, but is rarely used at Lincoln University.

2.2 This second-level heading has a really really really really really really long title that extends onto two lines

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Before you type in your table, change the style from ‘Body Text’ to ‘Normal’ (by clicking on the

‘Normal’ button in the Styles Group of the Home ribbon). ‘Normal’ text is single-spaced, and is more

appropriate for tables. Following the table, go back to the ‘Body Text’ style (Alt+B).

A quote is formatted using the ‘Quote’ style. To apply the ‘Quote’ style to your text, select the text, and click on the ‘Quote’ button in the Styles Group of the Home ribbon. Remember, you can Modify any style to your own formatting by right-clicking on the style’s button (in the Styles Group of the Home ribbon), and selecting ‘Modify’.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Appendix A

Enter Appendix Name Here

Replace the content of this page with your own content. The appendix heading uses the ‘App1’ style.

A.1 A sample second-level appendix heading

The second-level heading in your appendices uses the ‘App2’ style. The paragraphs use the ‘Body

Text’ style.

A.2 A sample second-level appendix heading

If you want to insert a table or figure in your appendices, you can create a new Caption label, eg

‘Table A.’, or ‘Figure A.’ by going to the References tab, and selecting Insert Caption, and clicking on

New Label. (Unfortunately I could not create these new labels in the thesis template, because

Microsoft Word only stores caption labels in the global template, normal.dotm.) If you do create a

new label, you need to manually delete the space immediately following the “A.” in each caption in

your appendices.

Table A. 1 This is a sample caption for a table appearing in appendix A

To add the tables from your appendices to your List of Tables, go to the bottom of your List of Tables

and press Enter a couple of times to give you a blank line between. Then go to the References ribbon

| click on ‘Insert Table of Figures’ | select the caption label ‘Table A.’ (for tables in appendix A) | click

Ok. If it asks you ‘do you want to replace the current list’, answer ‘No’, and a list of tables (that

occur in Appendix A) will appear. Press Enter for a blank line, and create another list for tables that

appear in appendix B, etc. I suggest you leave the blank line between each list. Do the same for

figures.
