The bottom and right margin should be one inch, and the top margin should be one inch to the page number and 1.5 inches to the first line of text. This margin rule applies to ALL pages, including any appendix materials and any pages with charts, graphs or other illustrations. Carefully consider this margin rule for all materials to be included. Letters, questionnaires, etc., may need to be reduced to meet the margin requirement. Begin assigning numbers with the title page, but do not print numbers on the title page, approval page, or copyright page.
Arabic numerals begin with Chapter One.
A substantive Introduction outlining the thesis should be called Chapter One. The first page of every major section probably needs to be formatted as a separate division with its own page setup in order to place the page number at the bottom. With some word-processors, the page number position is considered outside the print area, so your margins may need to be adjusted. Spacing and Indention Pages should be printed on one side only. The first line of footnotes should be indented the same as the first line of a paragraph.
