Hi,
I received the following letter from one of our departments and I was wondering
if someone on the net would be able to help.
"Increasing numbers of students are now using word processors,
either on campus or in Colleges to prepare their theses. This is
commendable, both in terms of quality of presentation and of
personal economy.
Format requirements are laid down for all levels of thesis, from
PhD to onours/raduate Diplomas and by Faculties and
Departments. It would seem logical to develop a program for word
processors that would offer these different formats as options
from which the students could select. This would be a useful aid
in the preparation of a thesis.
I would draw attention to the fact that such a program is already
offered in American and presumably other universities. It would,
I am sure, be welcomed here both by individual students and the
Colleges."
My first reaction was that he was talking about templates made up in each
format required. Unfortunately the person who sent us the letter is away on
leave, so I can't confirm this. Would anybody out there know of any program
that fits this description, if so could you let me know. Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Hope
