Dear all,

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
\chapter{Appendix}

This is the best I could get so far, but I believe there must be ...

(1) I have only one appendix and I want it to appear in the table of contents as "APPENDIX" (without the alphabetical numbering "A").

Thanks for the information provided. The problem is resolved now

I'm working with my thesis now and I encountered some difficulties in formatting the table of contents:

(a) How do I make the word "Contents" in the center?
(b) I want all the other entries to be left-aligned. Currently there is an indent for subsections.

Thanks.
