Thanks Steve and Dekel.. unfortunately this conference (IEEE/SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference) isn't LaTeXy yet.. so they don't have a style file.. I think I will have one ready though by the time I submit my paper.. :-)
I checked out titlesec and sectsty.. ended up using both of them to get most of what I need.. also used the caption package to get the figure captions formatted.. however I can't get the following things done: 1. For sections which are of type Section* (no numbers), what is the equivalent of \thesection? (this is needed to change the spacing above and below a section heading using \titleformat in titlesec package) 2. I need to get the "References" section heading left aligned.. how is this done?(Layout->Paragraph-> Left doesn't seem to have any effect) Thanks, nirmal On Sat, 1 Feb 2003 17:07:03 +0200 Dekel Tsur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is not the correct way to change the font in sections/captions. > For changing section headers, the titlesec or sectsty package should > be used.
