3. 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

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