Document 402 How to change automatically generated division namesVersion: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word Some typesetting specifications automatically give names, such as Chapter or References, to certain heading levels. If necessary, you can change the automatic names from, for example, Chapter to Lesson or from References to Bibliography. Making changes to the headings specifications can have wide-ranging effects, particularly if your document has a table of contents.
The command to change the title Contents to Table of Contents is \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}. Similarly, to change Chapter to Lesson, use \renewcommand{\chaptername}{Lesson} and to change References to Bibliography in a file created with the document class article, use \renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography} To change References to Bibliography in a file created with the document class book or report, use \renewcommand{\bibname}{Bibliography} Other titles work the same way. Note that the babel package works successfully with redefined titles. Last revised 01/19/06 This document was created with Scientific WorkPlace. |
