Before you start writing the thesis a few settings should be made:<\/p>\n

First of all the thesis should be divided into different sections. The first page usually differs a lot from the other pages. Moreover you probably might have a different numbering in different sections (depending on the requirements of your university). Therefore different sections allow you to have a different formatting, e.g. different content in the header and footer.<\/p>\n

To set a section break select \u201cpage layout\u201d and the button \u201cbreaks\u201d. I would recommend to start a new section on a new page so that you choose the option \u201cNext Page\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Insert<\/a>

Insert section break<\/p><\/div>\n

In the next chapter a description shows you how an individual style sheet can be set up to get an automatic table of contents.<\/p>\n
