Why ETD Templates? • Most people do not use styles and other advanced word processing features • Queen’s does not provide training for students on these advanced features • Answering the same questions and resolving the same recurring problems one-by-one was very time-consuming

ETD Template Features • Styles conform to the Queen’s School of Grad Studies thesis formatting requirements • Macros automatically format headings, etc. • Support only MS-Word (Windows, 2003 & 2007) & (Mac, 2004 only)
