How to reposition typeset division headings
Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific
Word
You can modify the typesetting specifications to reposition an entire category
of division headings, such as all chapter headings, or several individual
division headings. If your document was created with a Style Editor shell, use
the Style Editor to reposition the headings.
Repositioning all headings for a given division level
With the sectsty package you can change the location
of an entire category of division headings (the process removes the division
number from the heading and excludes the division from the table of contents,
but you can include the unnumbered division in the
table of contents again):
-
Add the sectsty package to your document.
The package works with standard LaTeX article, book, and report shells. If the
package isn't listed as available for your document, it will not work. Don't
attempt to go native to add the package.
-
From the Typeset menu, choose
Preamble and click the mouse in the entry area.
-
On a new line at the end of the preamble entries, type this command for each
division heading level you want to move:
\divisionfont{x}
where \divisionfont reflects the heading you want
to move (such as \allsectionsfont,
\partfont, \chapterfont,
or \sectionfont) and x
is the command for the new heading location:
| Command |
Effect |
| \centering |
Centered heading |
| \raggedleft |
Set flush right with a ragged left margin |
| \raggedright |
Set flush left with a ragged right margin |
-
Choose OK.
Repositioning a single division heading
You can reposition a single division heading by replacing it with a TeX
command. The process maintains the division number and includes the division
in the table of contents. We don't recommend this process for shells in which
numbered chapter headings are preceded by the word
Chapter.
-
Place the insertion point where you want the heading to appear.
-
Enter an encapsulated TeX field.
-
In the entry area, type {\location\
division{Name}} where
location is the location you want,
division is the division level you want to move,
and Name is the name of the heading as you want it
to appear. Define the location as \centering,
\raggedleft,
or \raggedright, as
described above.
-
Choose OK.
-
Delete the original heading.
