General ⇒ Confusion on \appendix

[shantoos]

hi,

I am writing my thesis in a report class document and I am adding two appendices ,

I have created a file called appendix.tex and in that file i use the following code:

\appendices
\chaper{First Appendix}
....BODY.........
\chapter{Second Appendix}
.....BODY......

The result is fine in Table of Content but it appears as follows in the appendix page:

ChapterAppendix A
First Appendix
....BODY......
ChapterAppendix B
....BODY......

do you have any idea how i can get rid of the Chapters ? I want it to be as follows: (desired format:)

Appendix A
First Appendix
....BODY......
Appendix B
....BODY......

I have tried using section instead of chapters but it wouldnt create the word Appendix at the begining of each each section and the result would look like this:

.1 First Appendix
....BODY....
.2 Second Appendix
....BODY....

which is not the desired format.

P.S i have included \usepackage{appendix} in my main file as well.

I'd appreciate your replies my thesis is due in 10 days!

regards

Hi shantoos,

could you post a compilable minimal working example showing the problem? Follow the link to get some hints. Without testing and only looking at those code fragments I cannot see the cause, but I'm sure it should be easily solvable with a test code to examine and to correct.
