• Arun designed this for his PhD. It has some fairly fancy features that make it clear and easy for examiners to be guided through the document: here’s an overview:
• There are auto updating headers that automatically update based on your chapter heading
• Sections have been properly setup to feature i, ii, iii etc. numbering on the intro pages, and numbered pages on the main content
• We have all of the table and figure styles setup as well as a clearly structured contents page that will also update based on your content.
• Everything is full editable, so use it however you like!
• Good luck!! Email us if you have any questions at all
