Hello,
I am writing my dissertation using a custom version of the book class.
I have spent hours trying change the words "Bibliography" and "Appendices" that are automatically put in to the table of contents by Latex to:
"BIBLIOGRAPHY" and "APPENDICES" (all in UPPER CASES) respectively.
I have tried inserting:
\renewcommand{\bibname}{BIBLIOGRAPHY}
\renewcommand{\appendixname}{APPENDIX}
in the preamble. But that changes only the titles of the bibliography and appendices. Nothing changes for what is put in the table of contents. It still shows "Bibliography" and "Appendices".
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

How to change fixed entries (or words) in tables of contents
It will require a minimal example to visualize what you are doing and was is going wrong [1]. The operative word is »minimal«. Otherwise it becomes very difficult to give specific help.
