Recommendation
Numbering for each chapter is in Arabic Numeral (*) and Roman Numeral
(**). The above chapters are just recommendatory. Chapters and sub-chapters

The next line starts on the fourth line below the title of the chapter
The first page of each chapter is counted, but unmarked. All pages are
marked with Arabic Numerals at the upper right hand margins.
All tables and figures, if possible should be located such that they do not
run over into the next page. If this happens, subsequent pages of the illustration
must include at least the illustration number and the notation that it is continued,
something like Table 1, cont.
Table captions are typed above the table and figure captions are typed
below the figure. If an illustration is rotated, the coordinating caption
-
must also be rotated.
For tables and figures copied form the caption of such should include the
source
The captions for table and figures must be identical with those used in the
UST OF TABLES and LIST OF FIGURES in the preliminary pages
Below is a sample of a table and a figure; note that the left and right
border line of the table flush with left and right margins .
Table 1. This is the title of the first table. If the title is long such that it runs
down the next line, the first word of the text line must be flush
with that of the previous as shown by this example
