Text Formatting ⇒ Thesis writing

[rishavharsh]

I am writing my thesis but unable to format the Acknowledgement, Declaration, Abstract pages having heading at the center with some empty vertical space on top. I am using "book" class and not any template. Kindly redirect me to the solution if this has already been answered.

I am writing my thesis but unable to format the Acknowledgement, Declaration, Abstract pages having heading at the center with some empty vertical space on top.

Without letting us know what you have attempted, it is difficult to answer your question. You should always post a minimal working example to demonstrate your problems.

As a probable answer,you can center the text within the {center} environment. You can use \vspace to provide vertical space in the text. Have you tried them? Take a look at the snippet below:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}
\vspace*{50mm}

\begin{center}
  \bfseries Acknowledgement
\end{center}

Blah, \ldots

\end{document}

Hope that gives you some pointers.
