Basic knowledge of Microsoft Word

Description

Hi,

Are you in end of your semester, looking for to submit your thesis and finding difficulty to use Microsoft Word.

Are you facing issues formatting texts in Word?
Do you write a text at one page and the text and images jumbles on other page?
Do you waste hours writing references in proper styles?
Are you really struggling to put your figures and tables in the correct order with proper caption and sequence numbers?

If yes, then you are right place. With this course, you will no more face these issues.

Keeping the students perspective in mind, I have designed this course to help you out with all the possible challenges that you may come across while writing your thesis.

In this course, I have shared the tricks that one can use to automatically number the figures and tables in proper order and generate the list of both with just one click. You can add landscape and portrait pages in the same document. You can add both Roman and Numeral style number in the same document.

Next, management of references is a BIG challenge. In general, a thesis will have more than 30-40 references. Managing these number of references, citing them in text with proper numbers and adding each in the Bibliography section is a big hurdle. By using a free software called Mendeley, you can do all the above said things in just few clicks.

Mathematical equations aha!, First writing a mathematical expression is very nasty. Further adding the correct equation numbers is at another level of difficulty. With the tricks mentioned in this course you will be able to easily mange the equations.

This is not all. There is much more to come as I will continue to upload videos on this course based up the feedback received from students.

So what are you waiting for? Join the course and lets begin writing.
