Hi Sharizan,

For issues (b) and (c), it would require a bit of tinkering in the utmthesis.cls file.  

Sorry but I do not understand the problem (a).  Can you elaborate please?

Hi dr Yap,
i already edited cls file..but it working only on the certain figure ...not all..
i edited this part:
% Copied from book.cls:
%   \@makecaption  - defines table/figure caption formatting
%
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
  \vskip\abovecaptionskip
  \sbox\@tempboxa{\bfseries #1: \normalfont #2}%  change caption label to bold, period.
  \ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
    \textbf{#1} #2\par
  \else
    \global \@minipagefalse
    \hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
  \fi
  \vskip\belowcaptionskip}

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I faced the same problem.

For problem (a), I think Mr. Sharizan meant he wanted to bold the word 'Figure' or 'Table' in the caption (as required in the LATEST UTM Thesis Manual), and it is not fixed in the latex template.

example:

OLD - Figure 1.1: This is a figure

NEW - Figure 1.1     This is a figure  (replaced ':' with a tab)

Please advice.

Thank you.

Hi Wei Kang,

To change both, this would require some modification to the utmthesis.cls file..

I dont remember where or what to change unless i open it.

If you have the chance, maybe you might want to try it out?  

Try finding for the word "Figure" or "Table" in file and if it looks like the right one, feel free to try editing it..

Hi Wei Kang,

I would like to ask about the colon mark for the Figures.. 

Did the postgraduate clerk asked you about this problem?  We actually think that this is actually a typo mistake in the UTM Thesis Template.
