Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Error in MikTex2.9 compiling a .sty file

[minidiable]

Hi to everyone,

I'm trying to write my thesis in LaTex and I'm quite new with this language.

I have a template to write the thesis but I'm not able to change it.

I open the file .sty in MikTex2.9 and I try to compile it but I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
entering extended mode
("C:/Users/Fabry/Dropbox/fabrizio tesi eth/Tesi/Bericht/ethasl.sty"
! Undefined control sequence.
l.7 \NeedsTeXFormat
                   {LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01]
? 

I don't understand what is it this error. Someone can help me?

It's in the nature of things that package files (*.sty) are not compilable. They are included by the \usepackage command into to LaTeX document (*.tex). Why did you try that at all?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I want to change something in my template and I thought that to do it I had to open and change that file. Is it not correct? How can I change something in my template?

Thanks and sorry for the disturbance,
Fab.

Change it in the template and save it.

This is ok if your template is a document template. Don't change a .cls file, don't change .sty files. If you would like to do this, rename those files and use them with a different name.

Perhaps tell us more specifically, what you plan to to do.

How can I change a template.?

I attached a pdf, If you see at the end of the page there is a line and the name of the supervisors, but I need that the line is upper than now to fit with all the names of the supervisors.

How can I do that?

From the PDF output nobody can tell that. Attach the style file to your next post by upload to the forum server or give a link where to find it. A minimal code example that shows how you produce this page would also be helpful.

Ok sorry. I'm starting with latex.!

I attached the .sty file!

I wrote this thing to have the pdf page that I attached previously:
