Guideline-based formatting
University thesis formatting guidelines
The safest formatting repair starts with the official university guide. The guide defines the rules; the audit checks whether the Word and PDF files follow those rules without changing academic content.
What a guideline usually controls
- Font family, font size, line spacing, paragraph alignment, and margins.
- Cover page, acknowledgements, abstracts, introduction, chapters, conclusion, bibliography, and annexes.
- Sommaire, table of contents, list of figures, and list of tables.
- Roman and Arabic page numbering rules.
- Footnotes, citations, bibliography style, and final PDF format.
What to upload with your thesis
- The DOCX or PDF thesis file.
- The official university guideline PDF or DOCX.
- A link to the guideline page if there is no file.
- Your deadline and the specific formatting problem you noticed.
If you do not have the guideline
The audit can still find structural Word problems, broken TOC fields, image risk, footnote styling, page numbering issues, and PDF export problems. Any institution-specific rule is marked as uncertain until the official guide is available.
