If you started working on your thesis before you realized there was a thesis template, you can still use the thesis templates without starting over. The simplest way to do this is by applying the formats and definitions from the template to your current working document. 1) Open the Frame document already being worked on. 2) Open the file chapter.doc from the Contributed/Thesis template 3) In the working file, select Use Formats from the File menu. 4) In the dialog window, make sure all the options are selected, and you are using formats from chapter.doc. 5) Click on OK. This will cause the working document to then use all the formats from chapter.doc and also update the existing formats. All formats includes paragraph/character formats, as well as master and reference pages. If the you are going to be using the rest of the thesis template files as well (for the cover page, etc.) you should save the document as chapter.doc.
