Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Changing the frontmatter section details

[rasepideh]

Hi all!

I am using the Masters/Doctoral Thesis style. [Basic questions]

How is it possible: 1) Deleting: Declaration page, Quotation page, Abbreviations, Physical constants/other definitions, Symbols and Dedication pages? [I read in the pdf document: "These modifications will need to be done on the MastersDoctoralThesis.cls file."

2) Changing the order of Abstract page and Acknowledgment page? I want to have first Acknowledgement page and then Abstract page.

3) How is it possible to change the title page: I want to have 4 pages [in total for title page].

Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance for sharing your information.

Hi and welcome,

i would have thought that this is self-explanatory.

In you file main.tex, all of the environments you mention are called and filled with content. Remove the environments and/or reorder the environments like you want.

How to customize my titlepage. You might notice some strange behaviour regarding page numbers. If so, please open another topic.

Thanks for quick reply.

I deleted the pages from "main.tex", but when I run the "main.tex".
I confronted to this error:
! LaTeX Error: File `scrbase.sty' not found.

I updated all the tex packages but still I am getting this error.

Thanks in advance for your help

That will also happen with the unmodified template. Please show us the log file of that unmodified template after compiling on your system.

No, I changed the main.txt file, omitting the unnessary pages, and changing the order of "Abstract" and Acknowledgment page.

I attached "main.log" here.
Please let me know if this is the file that you wanted to see, otherwise I can attach the whole folder.

Thanks

You have a very old version of TeX Live, there have been many updates for packages and the kernel.

You seem to miss the koma-script package, you can try to install it using the package manager of your distribution, though i would suggest to install a complete and current version of TeX Live.

It worked perfectly.

You've made my day

Thanks
