CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Thesis Template
Thesis formatting has long been one of the nightmares for postgraduate students.
More often than not, students find themselves spending more time than expected just to
format their thesis. Starting from 2016, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) provides
Microsoft Word template ofthe thesis format to UMP postgraduates. This module aims
to guide users (both postgraduates and undergraduates) to effectively use the template.
The module hasbeen written with step-by-step instructions,accompanied with
appropriate diagrams. Its design is aimed at facilitating users with self-practice on the
computer simultaneously.
This document is a template created to ease the thesis writing process. The file
is in .dotx extension, a dedicated file extension for creating a template in Microsoft
Word. Before this template canbe applied to your document, it is important that you
should enable several Microsoft Word features first.
1.2 Developer Tab
To create a new Microsoft Word document for your thesis based on this .dotx
template, just double click the file. A new document will open in Microsoft Word,
normally named Untitled.docx or Document1.docx. You can start writing your content
in that file without having to worry about thesis formatting. However, if you want to
apply this .dotx template to your current thesis, you need to enable the Developer Tab
option first. To do this, seeFigure 1.1.

Developer Tab will allow you to apply this .dotx template onto any Microsoft
Word document files.
1.2.1 Navigation Pane
Navigation Pane is where you can browse through your thesis based on its
heading name. To enable it, seeFigure 1.2.

Figure 1.2 Navigation Pane
As shown in Figure 1.2, the option to enable navigation pane resides in View
ribbon.
1.2.2 Styles Function
The basis of applying any given template is controlled bythe Styles function.
This functionenables the formatting of texts and paragraphs to be predefined. It is
suggested that the Styles pane is placed on the right side of the Microsoft Word working
environment so that you can work through the entire thesis formatting and writingmost
3

efficiently. This can be done by clicking a small arrow as shown in Figure 1.3. If your
pane appears to be floating, click and hold the window and place it on the right side of
the window.
Figure 1.3 Enabling the Stylespane
Once it has been secured on the right side of the Microsoft Word working
environment, the Stylespane should be able to show the predefined formatted texts and
paragraphs (see Figure 1.4).

Enabling the styles pane will allow faster and easier thesis formatting.
1.3 Summary
This chapter introduces users to the UMP Microsoft Word Thesis Template
in .dotx format and the basic features of Microsoft Word that need to be enabled first
5

before the .dotx template can be used. Once these important features have been
enabled,your computer shouldbe ready and the template can now be applied to your
document.You can familiarize yourself with the styles used in this .dotx template. Some
of the styles will be explained further in Chapter 2.

CHAPTER 2
STYLES

The style used for this subchapter 2.2 is Heading 2, UMP Level 2.
2.2.1 Heading 3
The heading for Subchapter 2.2.1 is formatted with Heading 3, UMP Level 3.
2.2.1.1 Heading 5

thesis.

2.3 Other important styles
All styles developed in this template are essential to ensure proper formatting of
a thesis. The most widely used style is UMP Paragraph. This paragraph style is formatted
by UMP Paragraph syles.
Another equally important style is the caption. All captions for figures, tables
and equations are formatted using their respective styles prepared in this template.
2.4 Equations
As shown in Equation 2.1, all equations must be systematically numbered. To
insert any equation, copy the whole equation and numbering as shown below and paste
them on the desired location. Then, edit the equation. The style used for equation is
Caption for Equation UMP.
y=mx +c 2.1
The paragraph that comes after an equation of a figure, has to be formatted
usingUMP Paragraph 2. This is to allow some space between the paragraph and the
caption of the equation or the figure. This paragraph usesUMP Paragraph 2 style.
2.5 Quotes
In any case that a writer need to quote 40 or more words, block quotation should
be used. To insert a block quotation, use Quotation UMP style.All quotationsmust be
properly cited to avoid plagiarism.
On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are
designed to coordinate with the overall look of your
document. You can use these galleries to insert tables,
headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document
building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or
diagrams, they also coordinate withthe current look of
your document. You can easily change the formatting of a
selected text in the document text by choosing a look for
the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the
Home tab. You can also format the text directly by using
the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer
the option of either using the look from the current theme
or using a format that you specify directly.

However, if a quotation is short, in text quotation should be used.

header is formatted using Table header style. Meanwhile, the style for caption is called
