I just started university and decided to graduate from Word for writing my papers, thesises and so on.

But I have some problems with probably the most simple things... I got this template: here the template

and I have to change the layout to the following criteria:

DIN A4 Margin: left: 2.5cm, right: 3cm, top: 2.5cm, bottom: 2.5cm Font: Serif font for example Times New Roman Size: 12pt, 10pt for tables, footnotes etc. Spacing: 1 1/2 and 1 in footnotes Text has to be justified.

% Präambel
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside,
liststotoc, % Tabellen- und Abbildungsverzeichnis ins Inhaltsverzeichnis
bibtotoc, % Literaturverzeichnis ins Inhaltsverzeichnis aufnehmen
titlepage, % Titlepage-Umgebung statt \maketitle
headsepline, % horizontale Linie unter Kolumnentitel
%abstracton, % Überschrift beim Abstract einschalten, Abstract muss dazu in {abstract}-Umgebung stehen
DIV12, % auskommentieren, um den Seitenspiegel zu vergrößern
%BCOR6mm, % Bindekorrektur, die den Seitenspiegel um 6mm nach rechts verschiebt,
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage{ucs} % Dokument in utf8-Codierung schreiben und speichern
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} % ermöglicht die direkte Eingabe von Umlauten
\usepackage[english]{babel} % deutsche Trennungsregeln und Übersetzung der festcodierten Überschriften
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Ausgabe aller zeichen in einer T1-Codierung (wichtig für die Ausgabe von Umlauten!)
\usepackage{graphicx} % Einbinden von Grafiken erlauben
%\usepackage{amsmath}
%\usepackage{amsfonts}
%\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathpazo} % Einstellung der verwendeten Schriftarten
\usepackage{textcomp} % zum Einsatz von Eurozeichen u. a. Symbolen
\usepackage{listings} % Datstellung von Quellcode mit den Umgebungen {lstlisting}, \lstinline und \lstinputlisting
\usepackage{xcolor} % einfache Verwendung von Farben in nahezu allen Farbmodellen
\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl} % zur Erstellung des Abkürzungsberzeichnisses
\usepackage{fancyhdr} % Zusatzpaket zur Gestaltung von Fuß und Kopfzeilen
\usepackage[a4paper, left=2.5cm, right=3cm, top=2.5cm, bottom=2.5cm]{geometry} % Hier die Seitenränder einstellen
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
%\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace*{-\topskip}}
\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace*{-1.1cm}} % Vertikalerabstand top

I used geometry to set the site layout to DIN A4 and to set the margins. For the 1 1/2 spacing I used \onehalfspacing. In the documentclass I have got 11pt because 12pt look far too big... For a serif font I used \fmfamily.

Are this changes correct? How do I use justified text and how can I use a font with the right size as in 12pt/Times New Roman in Word?

    Welcome to TeX.SX. Could you check and fix the link? Apr 15, 2013 at 10:11
  • In LaTeX, text is automatically justified. You would have to tell LaTeX explicitly, not to justify, for example by \raggedright, \raggedleft or \center. Concerning the font size: If the criterion is 12pt, then use 12pt, not 11pt. If you want to use Times New Roman, I recommend using xelatex, which lets you use any font your operating system provides.

  • \usepackage{mathptmx} to load Times New Roman font. Pass the option 12pt to your document class. You're doing the right thing regarding interline spacing: \usepackage{setspace} \onehalfspacing will give you a spacing of 1.5 in normal text but will maintain a spacing of 1 in footnotes.

  • !@ClaudioFiandrino oh sorry forgot to use hyperlink. corrected it. !@Toscho Thank you. Good to know that it is already justified. !@Jubobs Thank you too. Again good to know that the footnote will be 10pt if the font size is changed to 12pt.

You're halfway there. The following code should do what your require. See the comments in my code for explanation.


enter image description here


\documentclass[12pt]{scrreprt}
% The "12pt" class option sets \normalsize to 12pt and \footnotesize to 10pt.
% If not modified, the font size in footnotes will correspond to \footnotesize.

\usepackage[a4paper, left=2.5cm, right=3cm, top=2.5cm, bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{mathptmx}   % loads Times New Roman
\usepackage{setspace}   % for interline spacing
\onehalfspacing         % interline spacing of 1.5 in main text, 1 in footnotes 

\usepackage{lipsum}     % dummy text

% Here, I redefine \tabular to automatically switch to
% \footnotesize within the scope of a tabular environment.
\let\oldtabular\tabular
\renewcommand{\tabular}{\footnotesize\oldtabular}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Foo bar}

An outline of intellectual rubbish%
\footnote{Man is a rational animal, so at least I have been told.
    Throughout a long life, I have looked diligently for evidence
    in favour of this statement, but so far,
    I have not had the good fortune to come across it.%
}

\lipsum[1-5]

\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
    \hline
    hello & see ya & bye\\
    \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Foobar}
\end{table}

\end{document}

  • Thank you very much. This is code made it really easy to understand what you mean. :)
