![]() “Logical” refers to the page number as it would appear on the printed document, whereas “Physical” refers to the actual physical number of pages from the beginning of the document. ☞ If you have multiple sections in your document or you have begun your page number counting at something other than 1, you can choose Logical Page Numbers from the pop-up menu. Nisus Writer Pro will automatically switch to Page View. ☞ You can use this method even if your document is in Draft View. Choose either Logical Page Number or Physical Page Number from the pop-up menu in the dialog as illustrated in Figure 336 on page 380. Enter the page number to which you wish to jump.ģ. Choose the menu command: View > Go to Page….Ģ. You can Google 'writing thesis in Scrivener' I, for instance, found this: It would certainly be easier to learn than LaTeX.You can quickly jump to any page in your document. If your thesis is mostly text-based, you might want to give that a shot. Because of that, and because Scrivener was originally written for the Mac, it might not have Word-for-Mac's stability issues for long documents. Having said that, I understand that many novelists use Scrivener. I've not used it (it wasn't available for the Mac at the time) but, if you want a WYSIWYG TeX editor, you might want to try BaKoMa TeX. It took me a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the program (and learn its basic idiosyncrasies), and another two weeks to become fairly fluent, but after that it was off to the races. You should talk to the other graduate students - they can probably tell you where to find it, and let you know of any modifications that need to be made to it to bring it strictly up-to-date (in case it was written a while ago). Note also that universities typically have very strict thesis formatting rules, and at most universities someone has probably written a TeX thesis template. On a Mac, the easiest way to do this is to download the entire MacTex package from the tug site (there’s a link to it on the TeXShop page) this will give you the latest TeX distribution, as well as a very nice front-end editor (TeXShop) and reference-mangement program (BibDesk) (after completing this, do “check for updates” on both of the latter two). I thus switched to what I should have used in the first place: LaTeX. Plus it doesn't handle inserted graphics robustly, and its equation formatting capabilities are limited. I initially tried writing it in Word-for-Mac, but after it got to about 20% of its final size, the file began crashing (the program would have to close the document, which meant I had to save it continuously)-when you get beyond a certain document size, the program simply becomes unstable. ![]() It also had an automatically-generated table of contents. My thesis was not atypical for one in the sciences: ~200 pages (double-spaced), subdivided into chapters, sections, and subsections, with numerous equations, tables, inserted vectorized and non-vectorized graphics, and over 100 references.
