Text Formatting ⇒ Chapter Heading Indent Problem

[Zman1719]

I am new to these forums and to LaTex. I downloaded my school's, RIT's, format for writing thesis but had to make a couple alterations per request by my Thesis Adviser. I am currently having a very annoying problem that I can not seem to correct: my chapter headings are aligned so they are indented from the body text. For example:

Code: Select all

    Chapter 1
    Introduction
Body text would go here
and here

I can not seem to correct this problem and have been trying for hours to find a fix for this. I have attached my school's .sty file and hopefully someone here can help me correct this.

Also, my adviser wanted me add in horizontal lines above and below the chapter titles so for the above example, above and below introduction so if you know how to do this I would appreciate it.

The definition of the chapter headings is a little bit weird. I took the original definitions from the »report« class to correct the misbehaviour. The font size for chapter headings has been adapted according to the demands. The modified package is in the attachment.
