How do I set up page numbers?
When inserting page numbers you must consider whether you want to print your dissertation single-
sided or double-sided. If you choose single-sided, you can put the page number on the right side or
centered. If you choose double-sided, the page numbers must either be centered, or odd numbers
must be placed on the right side of the page, and even numbers on the left.
Any tips on how to make my dissertation more easy-to-read
and/or professional looking?
When you are writing your dissertation and getting ready to create the PDF-file you will send to us, you
must consider on which page chapters and other main parts will start.
In the printed double-sided dissertation all right hand pages will be odd numbered in your PDF-file.
To make the dissertation clean and easy to read you should start all new chapters on odd numbered
(i.e. right hand) pages. The table of contents, preface, reference list, etc. should also start on odd
numbered pages.
Odd numbered pages (1, 3, 5, 9, 15, etc…) = Right hand page
Even numbered ages (2, 4, 6, 8, 14, 20, etc…) = Left hand page
We recommend that you do this before you
make your table of contents.
