- Make sure you check the option in the table of contents to adjust it manually. It saved a bunch of effort to make it look decent, and I needed a pagebreak to get it on a different page from the title page.
- Pay attention to "following page" styles. I had to make sure the page style following the title page ("first page" style) was my dissertation page style, and not the "default" style.
- I have run into a strange problem where I have a number of blank pages before figures. Kind of strange.
- Making a master document, and then PDF'ing it is really awesome!

Solution to Numbering Problems
I was laying out my chapter and section headings. I thought I had it all down, defining a numbering system named "0 Diss Numbering." The "0" on the front was just so that it would come up first. I then re-defined Headings 1-3 to use this numbering, as well as fonts, small caps, and centering as needed. But, the numbering was not working right. I couldn't figure out how to do it. Finally, failing at my own abilities, I turned to the power of Google, and came up with this posting.
Handling numbering the right way.
Checking over, I needed to go the Tools->Outline Numbering tab, and define each level 1-3 as corresponding to Heading 1-3. It is now working well.
