FIRST 1. Make sure your .tex file and the pom_thesis.cls (AND the logo: pomonalogo.pdf) all live in the same folder. 2. If you want to run the sample file, you also need to download either (thesis_test.tex AND templatefig1.pdf) or (thesis_test_wbibtex.tex AND templatefig1.pd AND thesis_test_bib.bib). To use thesis_test.tex (without using BibTeX, bibliography is a the end of the .tex file) * Simply fill in the appropriate content (name, title, abstract, text, etc.). * LaTeX the file, thesis_test.tex. You may have to run LaTeX (and BibTeX) a few times to make sure that table of contents and bibliography appear properly. * You probably want to rename the file for your own sake. To use thesis_test_wbibtex.tex (using BibTex, bibliography is in a separate file) * Create your own bibliography file (in the test template the bibliography file is called: thesis_test_bib.bib) * Simply fill in the appropriate content (name, title, abstract, text, etc.). * LaTeX the file, thesis_test.tex. You may have to run LaTeX (and BibTeX) a few times to make sure that table of contents and bibliography appear properly. * You probably want to rename the file for your own sake.
