We have a Mac Lab here and instead of spending time on holding training
classes on using Microsoft Word, I put together a "Word Tutorial", a
self teaching guide on how to use Word. It starts with the basics but ends
with a section specifically on how to prepare theses. However, I consider
it to be incomplete as far as this section is concerned. I mainly cover how
to divide a thesis into sections so they can get Roman numerals for their
leader pages and Arabic for the rest (that's our requirements here), how
to set up the proper margins and position page numbers, and several other
other basic needs. I feel that it is adequate for many student's needs,
but there's lots more I could talk about, especially now that
"Thesis Week" is over and I've seen what students were doing wrong. There
really is a lot to cover because theses require so many things. It's a
summer project to revamp my tutorial, but unfortunately I have a long
list of summer projects...
I've posted this to comp.sys.mac as that seems to be the better place
for such discussions...
