 \section{Introduction}
 Formatting a dissertation according to a University's thesis requirements is not always a simple task in \LaTeX, especially since the requirements are generally aimed at MSWord users.  Furthermore, most of the work of formatting a document is supposed to be done by the document class itself, and not by the individual user.  Fortunately, Michigan State University's thesis requirements are actually sane, and fairly straightforward.  The present class file is designed to further make the process easier for \LaTeX\ users, by doing all the heavy lifting for you, so that you can focus on the content and not the formatting.

 Most book-length documents are divided into three main kinds of parts: the front matter, the main matter, and the back matter.  In \pkg{memoir} (and therefore \pkg{msu-thesis}) these sections are preceded by the commands |\frontmatter|, |\mainmatter|, and |\backmatter|.  These commands tell the class when to change the page numbering, for example, front matter pages  use lower case roman numerals, but main matter pages use arabic numerals.

+If your thesis requires a public abstract, it should go immediately before the regular abstract. Use the |{publicabstract}| environment for this.
 \subsection{Landscape figures and tables}
 If you have large figures and tables that must be rotated, you should use the |[lscape]| class option.  This enables a pagestyle |lscape| and places the page numbers correctly on the long edge of the page. The option loads the \pkg{pdflscape} package which provides a |landscape| environment to place the landscape figure in. Before the landscape environment, you need to issue a |\clearpage| command and change the pagestyle to |lscape|, and afterwards, change it back to |plain|. Schematically, then, any landscape pages should be created in the following way.

 \section{Bugs and redistribution}
 \subsection{Current version}
-The latest copy of \pkg{msu-thesis} will always be available on  \href{http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=msu-thesis}{CTAN}. If you use MiKTeX, or a current year TeX Live then their respective package managers will update or install the latest version. If you are using a Linux-based distribution, or your TeXLive distribution is not the most recent year, you may need to install the latest copy in your local |texmf| directory. If you want others to use the class, \textsc{please} point them to CTAN, so that they can get an up-to-date version with all accompanying documentation and examples rather than passing along your copy. Please report \textsc{any} problems you have with the class to me \href{mailto:amunn at msu.edu}{amunn at msu.edu}, as this will aid in making things easier for those who follow you. The Graduate School rarely announces changes it makes to the formatting requirements, so your problem reports are extremely helpful for keeping the class in compliance with the latest standards.

 \subsection{Archiving your thesis for the future}
 Since the current version of the \pkg{msu-thesis} class satisfies the Graduate School requirements at any one time, as these requirements change, you may find that if you need to recompile your thesis after you have graduated that the formatting changes. To avoid this, I would recommend saving an archived version of the \pkg{msu-thesis.cls} file in the same folder as your thesis file.  You only need to do this once you have completely finished your thesis however; there's no need to do it during the writing process. 
 \subsection{Version history}
-Previous versions of \pkg{msu-thesis} (versions 1.0--1.4b) were created for non-electronic submission and should not be used. Versions 1.5--1.6 (the first electronic submission versions) contained a |\makeabstract| command and a separate |msuabstract| environment. These have been removed as of version 1.7.  Users who are upgrading from earlier versions to version 1.7 do not need to change these commands however but their use will trigger a warning.) Version 2.0 implemented landscape pages; version 2.1 added support for \pkg{hyperref}. Versions 2.2--2.5 mainly accommodated to the ever changing whims of the MSU Graduate School. Version 2.6 fixed some appendix bugs introduced by the previous whim accommodation. Version 2.7 fixed various small spacing issues, fixed a bug which prevented a new chapter page to be a landscape page, added support for the \pkg{apacite} package, and updated degree options.

 \section{Acknowledgements}
-Thanks to Lars Madsen, Ulrike Fischer and Peter Wilson for help with setting up parts of the memoir code for versions 1.0--1.4 (now eliminated due to changed requirements). Thanks to Wolfgang Sternefeld for supplying the \pkg{linguex} spacing fix code, Leo Liu for the landscape page numbering code, which greatly simplified my original version, and Florent Chervet for the hyperref code. Thanks also to the following students who have reported problems over the years: Irina Agafonova, Ali Al-jiboory, Dmitriy Bryndin, Greg Christian, Kyle Crayne, Matt Husband, Changkuk Jung, Adam Liter, William Muir, Adam Soliman, Alicia Parrish, Neil ver Planck, Michael Wojcik and Yisu Zhou. A special thank you to Non Thongprong who graciously provided a copy of his entire thesis which allowed me to debug some especially subtle spacing inconsistencies.
