HelpDocs: Landscaped Tables, Figures, Images (etc)

 

For many reasons, we do not recommend adding section breaks and landscaping pages/sections in your thesis.

  • When looking at the printed version of the document, page numbers are at the bottom of the document but, on these pages, they end up on right margin. 
  • This can play havoc with page numbering and margins.
  • When PDFing, Mac users find that their document breaks up into a number of documents.

The alternatives are:

  • Attend a Theses: Tables, Images, PDFs, High-Quality Print workshop to learn how to manipulate your tables well. 
  • Create your landscaped tables in another file--use the Landscaped Tables template;
    then convert to a high-quality PDF, a high-quality JPG, crop and rotate, and insert the image(s) below the caption in your thesis. 
    (Table titles are not included in/with the table and figure captions are not included in figures.) 
    See also the Images page and workshop handout for help with creating, cropping, rotating, converting images.
