Here are some of the changes I had to make in LaTeX to fix my dissertation (modifications are grouped by file):</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> %%%%% dissertation.tex %%%%%</div> <div> % Make sure citations are listed in order and hyphenates consecutive</div> <div> % citation numbers (i.e. [4]-[10])</div> <div> \usepackage{cite}</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> % You may need to add \EMX to equations to get the spacing right with</div> <div> % the surrouning text.

It can be found here: <a href="http://gradschool.utah.edu/thesis/thesis-templates/" title="http://gradschool.utah.edu/thesis/thesis-templates/">http://gradschool.utah.edu/thesis/thesis-templates/</a></p> <p>This is great news if everything you've written so far for you academic work has been written with LaTeX. Without a LaTeX style file and a skeleton example (like the graduate school has now provided), it requires an enormous amount of work to hand craft a Word document from your LaTeX source text. Thanks University of Utah Graduate School!</p> http://span.ece.utah.edu/node/195#comments Mon, 16 Sep 2013 20:14:18 +0000 merrickm 195 at http://span.ece.utah.edu
