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)
