  1. Click above to choose and open the title and acceptance page templates for thesis or for dissertation.
  2. Once the document is open, click once anywhere in the page, then click Control+A (on PC machines) or Command+A (on Mac machines) to select everything.
  3. Click Control+C (PC) or Command+C (Mac) to copy the template.
  4. In your own dissertation or thesis draft, place your cursor at the top of the page where you would like the template to appear and right-click (PC) or Control+click (Mac).
  5. This will open the Edit menu. From the Paste options, choose Keep Source Formatting. (Hovering over each paste icon if you're not sure which is the Keep Source Formatting icon.)
  6. Customize the red text in the template with your own information.
