How to Add an Abstract in MonsterWriter

Applies to: Documents editor

The abstract is a standard section in theses and academic papers. In MonsterWriter's Documents editor, you add it as a dedicated section at the beginning of your document.

Adding an abstract section

1. 1

   Open your document

   Navigate to the document where you want to add an abstract.

2. 2

   Position your cursor at the top

   Click at the beginning of your document, before any other content.

3. 3

   Insert a section

   Use the block inserter (type "/" or use the toolbar) and select "Abstract" from the list of section types.

4. 4

   Write your abstract

   The abstract section is created with the correct formatting. Type your abstract text inside it.

Abstract formatting

MonsterWriter formats the abstract according to the template you select at export time. Most academic templates display the abstract prominently before the table of contents or before the first chapter. You write the content; the formatting is handled automatically.

Keywords

Some templates include a keyword list below the abstract. You can add a keywords section immediately after the abstract using the same block inserter.
