Text Formatting ⇒ Border/Padding Above ToC, List of Figures, List of Tables

[surrix]

Hey guys,

I use the following code to make the padding above Chapter headings match the padding around the rest of the text, so that there's approximately a 1 inch border around the whole document:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%
%\vspace*{0 pt}%
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \raggedright \normalfont
\bfseries\Huge\thechapter.\ #1
\par\nobreak\vspace{20 pt}}} % Set this back to 40 pt if doublespacing is removed!
\makeatother

My Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables headings, however, still have their default large borders above them. How do I apply the same formatting to those headings?

Thanks

Those depend on \chapter* (the starred version), so you will also have to do some changes to the \@makeschapterhead internal command.

Perfect, got it. Thanks.
