From 37 pages to 46 pages in the blink of an eye
At my friend Lilian's advice, I decided to figure out what Southwest College's rules on formatting the dissertation are sooner rather than later. I figured if I set my margins now that is one less thing I have to do later. Suddenly my Wharton chapter, which has been stalled at 37 pages for months (as you recall I left Wharton behind to work on Phelps), is now 46 pages, and my Phelps chapter, which was only 19 pages, is now 25. All of a sudden, I feel like I've made some serious progress today. Thanks for the tip, Lilian!

Oh, my friend, you're very welcome!!! In my case, my already way too LONG dissertation became even longer :-).
Formatting is a pain, so you should make all the effort to get it done early, that's for sure!
I forgot to say that this post made me LOL! :-D
If only it were that easy for me to make progress...I, fortunately or unfortunately, started with the university template.
You'll reach 57 pages with a larger font and triple spacing. My first chapter is now 125 pages. One more paragraph and I'm done with the dissertation.
You make it sound as if I'm behaving like one of your freshman, Oxymoron!
:-) I didn't mean it that way, M.
