how to justify the title of a chapter

[rupai]

Hi,
I am writing my thesis using the template given in the
following website
www.sunilpatel.co.uk/thesistemplate.php

By default, the titles of each chapters are not "justified" in this
template. I would appreciate if you kindly give some suggestion to
justify the title of a chapter.

regards,
rupai...

Hi Rupai,

you could override the \@makechapterhead default command. Try putting
in the preamble something like this:

\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
\vspace*{1cm}%
{\parindent \z@ \centering \normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\@chapapp\space \thechapter
\par\nobreak
\vspace*{-.5cm}
\fi
\interlinepenalty\@M
\Large\bfseries #1\par\nobreak
\vskip 20\p@
}}
\makeatother

see the \centering command at fourth line.

regards,
Edgar Fuentes

Why do you want to do that? I have never seen a chapter title justified.

Chapter titles are usually centred or ranged left, sometimes ranged right, but never justified (they're not usually long enough, and are usually in too big a size to make it possible).
