I think for the majority of these issues it would be wise to look into additional latex packages that are available from http://tug.ctan.org/ . For instance the look of the appendices in the body of the document and the toc can be altered with the appendix package. I've included an example of how to use the package to insert the word 'appendix' in the body of the document and in the toc. Reference the documentation for this package on ctan.org. There are also a few packages available for changing the look of chapters with options to change the spacing. Or as someone else suggested you may look into the koma-script document class that has these options built in. There is a reference manual over 200 pages long for the koma-script class with many options to alter the look of the document. This manual is also available on ctan. Also, as someone else eluded to, the tocbibind package is available for adding different elements to the toc. I specifically used this package for my thesis because it was required to have the toc, lof, and lot in the toc. In this case I just put \usepackage{tocbibind} and this includes most elements in your toc. However, once again look at the package documentation for a detailed description of the options available and once again this documentation is found at ctan. Good luck. Cheers, Bob
