I am writing a dissertation style document and am using a template made by my uni, this previous question may be of use. My abstract has to read exactly as it is so deleting words/rewording isn't an option. As you can see by the image I've provided it goes onto another page by three words. How can I change this? Is there a way I can change the page dimensions slightly for this page only and not the rest of the template?

The template can be found here, it is called bbkproject.

    you can probably put \looseness=-1 just before the paragraph, or add \endlargethispage{\baselineskip} or (normally if not in this case simply re-word it a bit). – David Carlisle Mar 17 '17 at 15:31
  • Neither of those options work for me as it is a template where the title page creates the abstract (see link provided for template) and it cannot be reworded as mentioned above. – harry55 Mar 17 '17 at 15:37

    I assume (?) you can't abbreviate "Chapter" to "Ch. " – Chris H Mar 17 '17 at 16:00
  • No I must create a duplicate of the text I am given so shortening words, deleting words or rewording is not possible. – harry55 Mar 17 '17 at 16:01

    I'd look at the blank lines around lines 315--329 of the template, as they only appear in the abstract, or see if \frenchspacing wins you enough. But @DavidCarlisle's suggestion of \looseness should work -- you should be able to put it in the argument passed to the template – Chris H Mar 17 '17 at 16:11

    you make it hard for anyone to debug since you have not provided an example here just an image but I fail to see wht you can not put \looseness=-1 in wherever you are adding the text. whether it's triggered by \maketitle or not you must add the text somewhere. – David Carlisle Mar 17 '17 at 16:52

    Can you please make a MWE? As I said for your questions yesterday, we are no mind readers - this is still true today. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 17 '17 at 16:55
