[Tex/LaTex] How to “unbold” this

boldchapters

I am using Texmaker and I am facing a small problem. I have included an abstract that is already on another .tex file under the name abstract.tex.

The thing is, my abstract.tex file template looks like this (please excuse me if it looks messy):

"%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% ABSTRACT
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\chapter*{An Abstract of the Thesis of}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{tabbing}
\underline{\normalsize{Name Name Name}}\quad\quad
for\quad\quad\=\underline{Master of Engineering}\\
\>\underline{Major}: Electrical and Computer Engineering
\end{tabbing}
\vspace{0.5cm} Title: \underline{Title Title Title Title}\\
\vspace{0.5cm}

Abstract..."

When I include this file in my current thesis.tex file, using \include{abstract} I get the first line: An Abstract of the Thesis of in bold and my university's rules state that this sentence must not be in bold.

How can I unbold this?

Best Answer

You can just type

\chapter*{\normalfont An Abstract of the Thesis of}

%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}

(Switch comments for changing the alignment, but you already knew it; note \protect in front of \numberline.)

Anyway, I wouldn't do anything special: the abstract is just an unnumbered chapter and its heading should be the same as the other chapters.
