TIps on how to format your thesis (MS Word) In-Person
This workshop will help you work around some of the common formatting glitches most postgraduate students experience, whilst getting their document ready for submission.
Benefits of formatting your thesis:
• Consistency – your document will be consistent throughout and will ensure that your supervisors can easily navigate the content
• Speed – once you have customised a style or format it would be easy for you to apply the style throughout the document
• Automation – the insertion of Table of Contents, figures and bibliography can easily be automated once the formatting has been customised
