Templates
In order to guarantee that the visual identity is maintained and that all common documents have the same appearance, a number of university-common templates are available for use. Some of these are letter template, meeting template, decision template, general document template, and PowerPoint template. The templates are available for both Mac and PC and in both Swedish and English.
The templates below are included in Linnaeus University’s template package that is installed on computers in computer rooms and lecture halls and can be installed also on staff computers.
If you are experiencing problems downloading, opening, or finding the templates, contact the IT office or read EN-Instruction-to-essay-and-other-templates-v220225.dotx.

For the templates to work with older versions of Microsoft Office, you must first install the basic template and the template package on your Lnu computer. Install them by following the links below:

General document template
Template for shorter reports, suitable for both students and Linnaeus University’s staff. Provides cover sheet, table of contents, and correct typography. Use the format templates Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 for headings and the format template Normal for body text. The table of contents must be updated when the text has been typed in.
Do not use this template for: degree projects, that is to say bachelor’s, 1-year and 2-year master’s theses. Then use the Essay template instead. For doctoral theses the Dissertation template should be used.
For shorter assignments, lab reports and the like, Linnaeus University’s basic template should include everything you need.
