Formatting a dissertation is nearly as hard as writing it in the first place! Submitted for your consideration, UCLA's 35-page "Policies and Procedures for Thesis and Dissertation Preparation and Filing". And it makes the text so ugly!

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
Just 35 pages?
Create a template in Word and then use that. That's the ONLY way I got through it. I was lucky enough that the lab down the hall had a student finish just a few weeks before me, and she made the template. I just had to madify it slightly.
I second caltechgirl: Word templates are very, very good for this sort of thing.
