[library@whitman.edu](library@whitman.edu)  \nFull instructions and thesis guidelines can be found here: [https://library.whitman.edu/honors-thesis/](https://library.whitman.edu/honors-thesis/)[ ](https://library.whitman.edu/honors-thesis/)General  \nTable ofContents  \nList of Illustrations  \nSections  \nPage Numbers  \nOther common problems  \nGoogle Docs and fonts  \nRemoving blank pages (section breaks)  \nChanging footnotes/endnotes  \nMargins  \nGeneral  \n● Ifyou started out writing on another platform, you can insert your work into the template. Be sure to leave yourself enough time to clean up any formatting discrepancies (esp. With your tables and figures) .  \n● Do less! Usually it is easier to keep the proper formatting the fewer changes you make  \nespecially to the table of contents and page number settings.  \n● Leave the margins as they are currently set in this document – 1.5 inches on the left, 1 inch on all other sides.  \n● Any instructional text in the template in [brackets] needs to be changed, and the brackets deleted before submission.  \n● Any instructional text in the templates in red and (parentheses) must be deleted before submission.  \nTable ofContents  \n● Don’t try to manually edit this!  \n● The TOC will be one of the first pages you see in the template but it should be the last thing you deal with.  \n● The TOC is linked to chapter and section titles based on formatting designated in the “Styles”section  \n○ Chapter titles should be “Heading 1” and section titles should be “Heading 2”. Any changes this does to your font/formatting (making it single space for example) can be changed back to how you want it. The sections already in the template are formatted this way, so you can just type over the current titles like “[Chapter One],” but if you  \njust insert your whole thesis into the template, you will need to change the style designations ofthe titles accordingly.  \n● It is easiest to update the table at the very end once you have finished formatting everything else in your document.  \n● Right click on the table and select “Update Field”. Of the two options, select “Update Entire Field.” This will update both the headings and the page numbers.  \n● Sometimes when you insert large chunks of text into the template it keeps formatting you don’t necessarily see from whatever platform you are taking it from, so whole paragraphs or even pages of text show up in your TOC. Just make sure in the “Styles” section your main text is marked as “Normal” and headings are given their appropriate heading (Heading 1 for chapter titles or Heading 2 for subtitles) . Any changes this does to your font/formatting (making it single space for example) can be changed back to how you want it.  \nList of Illustrations  \n● Either update the list ofillustrations manually by editing the template, or create one by following these instructions.  \nSections  \n● Not all sections provided in the template are required. Only keep those that are relevant. For example, if you only have three chapters, you can delete chapters 4-6; or if you have no list of illustrations, you can delete that section.  \n● Manually delete a section by deleting the heading and all text associated with that section until the page is deleted. Sometimes there are issues with this bc of the template formatting, find instructions to fix this here.  \n● To insert a new section: go to Layout-> Page Setup (Far left ofRibbon), select Breaks-> Next Page  \n● Format the heading of the new section as “Heading 1” in the “Home” tab (sub-sections will be“Heading 2”) . This ensures that sections are automatically linked to the Table of Contents when it is updated.  \nPage Numbers  \nWhen switching between platforms or versions ofWord sometimes the page numbers do not remain the way they should be. Generally, everything up to the Introduction should be with lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii...), with the title page not having a page number and the Certificate o","cbCaijMMwfw0zTWw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijMMwfw0zTWw","pdf",327303,7,"English","# General\n## Table of Contents\n## List of Illustrations\n## Sections\n## Page Numbers\n## Other common problems\n## Google Docs and fonts\n## Removing blank pages (section breaks)","[{\"question\":\"How should the Table of Contents be updated in the thesis template?\",\"answer\":\"Update it at the very end after formatting the document.
