The information in this article applies to:
The THESIS1.DOT template, supplied with Word for Windows, is not based on any single style guide. The template is based on a variety of standards that make it a generic tool for producing academic manuscripts.
The thesis templates (DISSERT2.DOT and DISSERT.DOT) supplied with earlier versions of Word are based on "A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations," Fifth edition, by Kate L. Turabian.
Note: Though the template is based on the Turabian publication, it is not standardized to it.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Convert your Word 2.x DISSERT2.DOT template or your Word 1.x DISSERT.DOT template for use with Word 6.0. For more information on using templates from a previous version of Word, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
