Introduction

This is the first paragraph written in style ‘IFA body no indent’, i.e. in Times New Roman 12 and without indentation.

Now this second paragraph is different because it is written using the style ‘IFA body indent’, with indentation.

The title of this chapter (‘Introduction’), and the titles of all subsequent chapters use the style ‘IFA Chapter title’; the hard page break before the titles is inserted automatically.

Importantly, notice that the Table of contents and the List of tables on the previous pages are created automatically: no manual editing is necessary. All you have to do is format any headings using the ‘IFA Heading’ styles at the correct level (1, 2 or 3), or insert a caption for your table (Insert > Caption, or Wstaw > Podpis). Then, update the Table of contents and List of Tables (right-click and choose ‘update field’).

What you need to do first is to save the document (Save as ...) under a suitable name, e.g. “my_thesis”. IMPORTANT: This template can be used with any version of MS Word; however, when first saving your document, make sure the “Compatibility mode” option is checked ! (Pol. ‘zgodność z poprzednimi wersjami programu Word’), or else some formatting might not work exactly as configured.

After saving your file, you can start typing below the word ‘Introduction’ at the top of this page, gradually replacing the template’s original sample text; do the same with the subsequent chapters. We recommend that you keep – for as long as possible – all the example chapters (numbered and unnumbered), tables, figures, block quotes, numbered examples, footnotes, etc. provided in the original template. It is often the easiest to re-use a given style / feature by copying an example of a heading, caption, etc., and pasting it into a new place, then simply post-edit the wording.

Always remember to make a backup copy of your work.

If you have problems using this template, visit the ‘WA Stylesheet & Template Support’ site on the faculty’s Moodle platform for additional tips and forum support.

This is version 1.5.2 of the WA BA/MA Template, released in March 2022, for BA and MA theses written in English.

: Basic strategies in saving your sanity

Definition of sanity

This is the first line of the section, followed by some blank space before the next heading. The blank space will appear automatically as long as the headings use the ‘IFA Heading 1’ style.

Strategies in saving your sanity

This is the first paragraph of the second section. As you can see, this section is further subdivided into two subsections.

At this point, let us have a few examples. These are numbered examples, separated from the text by a single blank line on each side (since these examples appear in a list they are not separated from each other by blank lines). They use the style ‘IFA body list numbered’. The numbering and indentation is achieved automatically.

a.	a slice of bread, a glass of water

b.	a pile of books, a row of houses

strawberry, raspberry, blueberry

Now consider another example in (3):

a.	Peter called his boss after reading the letter.

b.	Peter, called, his, boss, after, reading, the, letter

The following examples, (4) and (5), do not use italics:

[TP Peter T [vP/vP [vP {Peter}[VP called his boss]][PP after [TP {Peter}PRO T

[vP {Peter} v0 [VP reading the letter]]]]]]]]

TP

DP vP

Peter vP	PP

t v’	after reading the letter

v0	VP

V0 DP

called his boss

No more examples will be given in this template; naturally a BA paper or an MA thesis will have more examples.

We are now ready to move on to a section with subsections.

Defensive strategies

This is the first line of another section. This section contains a block quotation, i.e. a longer quotation which is preceded and followed by a single blank line. The space is here pre-formatted in the style ‘IFA block quotation’.

Any account of meaning in language must (a) be faithful to the facts as we observe them, and (b) must be as simple and generalizable as possible. If we approach meaning entirely from a pragmatic point of view, or entirely from a semantic point of view, these requirements are not met; however, if we approach meaning from a point of view which combines semantics and pragmatics, the result can be a satisfactory explanation in terms of these two criteria. (Leech 1983: 7)

Notice that the footnote numbers above are placed at the ends of the sentences, and follow the full stops.

Here is the end of the section, again with some blank space following.

Aggressive strategies

The heading above uses the style ‘IFA Heading 2’, as it is a 2nd level heading. Notice that the ordinal in the previous sentence does not have superscript for ‘nd’.

More aggressive strategies

The heading above uses the style ‘IFA Heading 3’, as it is a 3rd level heading.

Table 1 below is a sample table with numbers (with and without a decimal point) and text. The caption was inserted using the Insert > Caption command. (Note that, unlike OpenOffice.org, the cursor does not need to be in the table.) If you are using a Polish version of MS Word, you may have to create a new label (‘etykieta’) for table captions first, called ‘Table’. Each time you caption a table with this label, the table’s position will be updated in the List of tables automatically.

Table 1. Sample table.

Examples
without a decimal point	with a decimal point	text
123	123.1	my first example
1234	1234.12	my second example
12345	12345.123	my third example

The text in the table uses the style ‘IFA table text’. (Note that, for MS Word 2007 and above, in order to apply, in addition to the decimal separator, also the thousands separator, typically a comma, you will need to adjust the Country and Regional Settings in the Control Panel of your system, and restart your MS Office applications. The figures input in Table 1 above do not include a thousands separator.)

And here is an example of a simple figure (after Corbett 2000: 196):

NP	NP	NP	TARGET

Fig. 1. Agreement with the nearest conjunct.

Notice that Fig. 1 is listed in a separate List of figures, which appears after the List of tables. Once again, if you are using a Polish version of MS Word, you may have to create first the label (‘etykieta’) for figure captions called ‘Fig.’ for the automatic listing to work correctly.

When making in-text references to a given table or figure, choose Insert > Cross-reference (Wstaw > Odwołanie / Odsyłacz) and then select the required label (‘Table’ or ‘Fig.’); the format of the in-text reference should be ‘Only label and number’.

: Further strategies in saving your sanity

Sanity and your loved ones

Phonetic and other special symbols can be entered manually (Insert > Symbol).

Also notice that the so-called ‘en-dash’ (–) may be keyed in manually by pressing and holding Ctrl, and then the minus sign on the numeric keyboard. On most computers, though, it inserts automatically in certain situations.

Sanity and your workplace

This is the first line of the second section.

The K-factor

And this is the last line of the chapter.

: When all strategies fail

Legal issues

This is the first line of the first section.

Financial issues

The following financial issues must be addressed:

Money;

More money;

Even more money.

Note that the list above uses the style ‘IFA list bulleted’, which takes care (automatically) of all the indentation and bulleting.

Final remarks

No more will be said on this matter.

Conclusion

This is the first and only line.

Appendix

Finally, relevant data can be provided in the Appendix. If necessary, separate appendices can be labelled with capital letters.

This is a footnote. If you ever need to remove a footnote, like this one, do so by deleting the superscript little digit in the text, not by deleting the footnote itself from the footer (here at the bottom of the page).

This is another footnote.
