Hi,

I'm using TeXnicCenter to edit my document. I have the code as follows.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,lot,lof]{uthesis}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
%%%% Author, title page, and Committee info

\title{Preventive methodology}
\author{S} % your name
\adviser{Dr. }  % replace with the full name of your adviser

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
%%%% Tweak float placements
% From: http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/latex/floats.html "Controlling LaTeX Floats"
% and based on: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=floats
% LaTeX defaults listed at: http://people.cs.uu.nl/piet/floats/node1.html
    \renewcommand{\topfraction}{0.85}	% max fraction of floats at top
    \renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.6}	% max fraction of floats at bottom
    \setcounter{topnumber}{2}
    \setcounter{bottomnumber}{2}
    \setcounter{totalnumber}{4}     % 2 may work better
    \setcounter{dbltopnumber}{2}    % for 2-column pages
    \renewcommand{\dbltopfraction}{0.66}	% fit big float above 2-col. text
    \renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.15}	% allow minimal text w. figs
    \renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.66}	% require fuller float pages
    \renewcommand{\dblfloatpagefraction}{0.66}	% require fuller float pages

% The documentclass already sets parameters to make a high penalty for widows and orphans. 
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
%%%% 
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{booktabs}

%set parameters for longtable:
% default caption width is 4in for longtable, but wider for normal tables
\setlength{\LTcapwidth}{\textwidth}

% url package understands urls (with proper line-breaks) without hyperlinking them
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{textcomp}
