Remove vertical space in \parbox

Hi,
the vertical space isn't introduced by the parbox, but by your misuse of \Large : it doesn't require a parameter, hence the line spacing is matched to \Large until the end of the \parbox .
Try it like this
\fbox {\parbox{8cm}{{\Large FIRST FRAME\par}\bigskip

Arrow box

well, I didn't see a way to adapt the arrow box directly...but where's the problem drawing the shape you want yourself?
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,openright]{book}
\usepackage{tikz}
%\usetikzlibrary{positioning, shapes.arrows}

Header is empty

I think the OP rather needs \markboth here...yet again.

perhaps you're looking for \verbatiminput{} as provided by verbatim package?

Newbie Question(s): Packages (classes?) needed for PhD thesis template

Hi there,
I'd run a simple test first, to see if it's a problem with your TeX installation.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}
If that doesn't compile (and if I didn't put any error into it), it doesn't make sense to look for trouble in a template...

Please help me solve the problem !!!

I guess TeX chokes on the period in the file name and wrongly assumes ".1" as extension, even though the file name is "f1.1.pdf" (or png)---well, according to the info presented, it could be either one, or really just "f1.1".
Try it with a simpler file name like "test.pdf" and "test" as argument to ...

fancyhdr: \chaptermark empty

Hi there,
\chaptermark is used by \chpter to set the mark(s) for this chapter. If you call it from within \fancyhead , you're overwriting the current mark(s).
Use \leftmark within \fancyhead , instead.

Now, the page header on odd pages contains the chapter title (plus chapter's number & name), but ...

"Can't write on file" error, but this isn't a ../ reference: why?

Can it be that in order to implement the -output-directory flag the code changes to that directory, after which the imbed of ./foo/bar becomes ../foo/bar and fails because of the limitation?

Not quite. Whenever you \include something, a partial aux file is opened for writing and when you change ...

Align three supervisors text in same row

The first problem I did't understand. If you want spaces between your dotfills, make the \parbox es a little smaller and put \hfill between them.
For your second problem, add \noindent before the first \parbox in your \Sigline definition: you've got a paragraph break before the first use of \Sigline ...

Document class for edited book?

Is there a way of getting rid of (sub)sections in the TOC while keeping the author name?
simply shift the authors-entry to chapter level
\makeatletter
\newcommand*\l@authors{\@dottedtocline{0}{0pt}{0pt}}
\makeatother
then the authors won't disappear from TOC with tocdepth set to 0.
Or, if you ...
