If you are one of them, then please stop doing that. The first thing that you need to know when you start using Microsoft Word Is styles. If you are writing a small document, then of course, you can go ahead and apply direct formatting two sections of the document. But if you're writing a larger document, such as a book or even a smaller document, suggest a thesis or report. Then it is very important that you use styles. Let's first understand what styles are. A styling is nothing but a set of formatting options are numbering, that you can apply it to a piece of text. The advantage of styles is that no matter what your document is about, you're generally going to have a title, maybe some headings, maybe some subheadings, or some sets of formatting that you want to apply in different portions of the document. You will want to ensure that whenever you use, say, a heading, one element, it has the same formatting everywhere in the document. So for instance, if you're writing a thesis or people and your institute tells you that they want you to use all caps in your heading one elements. We just need to modify the style that you create it for the heading one element. And formatting for all of the heading one elements updates instantly to reflect this change. But that is not the only reason to use styles. Let's review the benefits of using styles. If you use styles to format your heading elements, you can generate a table of contents section with just one click. How cool is that? You can even make updates to the table of contents if you change anything in those heading styles. The second benefit of using styles is that microsoft Word has a feature called Navigation Pane. And heading elements created using the styles show up in the navigation pane, allowing you to quickly and easily navigate through the document sections. Styles also allow you to use what is known as an outline view in Microsoft Word. This is actually a very interesting topic and deserves a separate video. So you will see information about it in future videos. Be sure to take a look. The other benefit of using styles, that you can ensure that the numbering for your headings is consistent by linking what's known as a multilevel list to a style. This means that all of your heading one elements can have numbers such as 123. And all of your heading two elements can have numbers such as one dot one, dot, one dot three, and so on. The other benefit of using styles is that you can ensure that you use elements such as the chapter name or heading one, even in the header or footer section of the pages in your document. This helps your reader easily understand the content that they're reading about in a certain page. Finally, if you are collaborating with others, you can restrict any formatting changes that they make by locking the styles used in the document. This prevents others from directly modifying sections of your document and formatting it differently. Microsoft Word has many useful features for writers, but Styles is definitely one of the most important. Thank you for watching. 3. How to Use and Modify the Default Styles in Microsoft Word: In a previous video, we talked about why it is important to use styles in your Word document. Let's now talk about how you can modify the styles in Microsoft Word. The easiest way to use a style is to navigate to the styles section on the home men. Microsoft Word provides you with a gallery of styles. Four important elements, such as title, heading one, heading two, and so on. If you have text that you want a heading one limit applied to it, then you just need to select the text or place the cursor at the beginning of the text and select Heading one in the style section on the home menu. The texts that you selected will have its formatting updated based on that you chose. However, in some cases, you might not want to use the provided formatting options are styles that Microsoft Word provides. Well, you can modify the formatting for those styles or even create your own styles. Let's look at how to modify the default styles that Microsoft Word provides. There are two ways to modify a default style. Let's say that you want to modify the Heading one style and change the font and font size. The first week to modify the style is to go to the home menu, go to the Styles section, and right-click the style name. Since we want to modify heading one, Let's right-click heading one and choose Modify. Now, choose the new formatting that you want for the style. You will see a small box displaying a preview of the changes as you try them out. If you want, move formatting options such as numbering. Then click the Format button and open the appropriate when. The second way to modify a style is to highlight some texts that already has that style applied. So in this case, we want to modify Heading one style. Let's select some text that already has the Heading one style applied. Now, you can go ahead and directly change its formatting, such as the font or font size. You know, need to tell Microsoft Word to use this formatting for all of the heading one elements. To do that, right-click the style name, in this case, heading one, and choose the option that says Update Heading. To Match Selection. You can apply the same method to modify any of the other heading styles or other statuses. But thank you for watching. 4. Insert and Update Captions for Figures and Tables: If you have figures or tables in your Word document, then it's always a good idea to add captions to those tables and figures. However, if you're like most people, then you are inserting and deleting captions incorrectly. If you have been adding your figures or tables, and then manually typing out the captions below the figures are about figures or tables. Then the disadvantage of this approach is that you've bought to manually think of the figure number or table number and keep track of the numbering. Let's look at the correct way to insert and update captions in your Word document. The first thing you need to do is right-click the image that you want to add your caption too. And you can choose Insert Caption. All we can go to the references menu and select the figure or table in your document, and then choose the option that says Insert Caption, have a graph, chart, photo or illustration. Then it's a good idea to have the label as figure. Otherwise, if you have table, then choose the option that says table for labor. You can next choose the position of the caption. The label is the text that you want to appear next to the table or figure number. Usually it's the word table or figure. But you can also click the option that says new label and provide any other texts to use as your label. You can click numbering and choose from the available numbering options, whether you want 123 or ABC or any other numbering option. In the text field. After the label and numbering is there you actually enter your caption type. A bonus tip. If you click auto caption, then you can also specify that the caption must be automatically inserted. Whenever you insert, say, a figure or a table. Let's try inserting another figure and then you choose Insert Caption. We will see that the figure number is automatically entered by microsoft word. Whenever you add a new figure. The method to add captions to your tables is similar. With the table selected. You can go to the references menu, choose the option that says Insert Caption. Just as with figures. For tables, you can choose the default label of table, or you can click new label and provide any other texts that you want to use as your label for the tables. Let's try inserting another table. And you see that when you try to insert a caption for the new table into automatically insert the correct table number for you. Now, I mentioned that the table number is automatically updated when you add a new table. And likewise, the figure number is automatically updated. When you add a new figure. However, you might wonder what happens if you delete an existing figure or table. And you want your other table numbers and figures to be automatically update. To do so, right-click the number that appears next to the label and choose the option that says Update field.

A list of figures are a list of tables, as the name says, is exactly that. A list of all the figures used in your document or a list of all the cables use in your document with an ability to link to those figures or tables. The advantage of inserting a list of figures and tables in your documents is that readers can quickly go to the list section and figure out how many figures and tables you have in your research paper or thesis. In addition, if the reader is interested in going to a specific figure or table, they can directly click the link and be directed to the page on which the figure or table appears.

You can then provide the texts for your actual caption. Let's go ahead and insert a bunch of figures in our document and also insert some captions for those figures. Now that we've inserted some figures in our document, we'll see how to insert a table or list of these figures. To do so, you can press control enter to insert a page break. You can then type out some text that you want as your introduction heading for the list of figures. Then you need to go to the References tab and choose the option that says food table of figures.

The requirements might involve applying different styles for different sections of your document. This might mean that you need to format your captions for tables and figures in a specific way. In this video, let's look at how we can apply some formatting for your tables and figures. Let's review how to insert captions. You can insert a figure and then right-click it and choose Insert caption. Or you could go to the references menu and choose the option Insert Caption. Now, if you want to format a caption, then the key thing to remember is that we will need to create a new style based on the caption style that is already available in Word, but it's hidden. We need to choose a new style based on the caption style. So we'll choose style, limb caption. We can modify the look and feel of our captions. For instance, you might want to play around with the spacing of those captions. You might want to apply the bold font instead of italics. You might want to change the font size and so on. And let's click, Okay, and you'll see that all these captions now have the updated formatting applied to them.

Include Chapter or Heading Content in Header or Footer in MS Word: If you're writing a thesis or report or even a novel, you might want to include information about the chapter or heading on each page in the header or footer section. This helps your readers know the content that they're reading about. In Microsoft Word, there is a straightforward way to include information about the chapter or header in the header or footer section of the Word document. Let's say you insert a simple header invert by going to the Insert menu and choosing headed. The disadvantage is that this header remains static and you're going to see the same header content on all of the pages. This works well. If you have information such as the company name to be included on all the pages. However, in some cases, you might want to include information about the current chapter that you're on, or see the first heading on each page, or even the last heading on each page. So let's first try to insert some headings in our document. Let's insert a bunch of heading one, heading two, and maybe some heading three elements as well. Let's move all of the heading one elements to a new page. You've created three heading one elements. Let's move these heading one elements to a new page. We can use the Control Enter shortcut to insert a page break. What we want to do next is we want to click on the header section and the position where you want to insert your dynamic header. You can choose the option click parts. And under that you're going to see an arrow. Click on the arrow and choose the option field. If you're not sure where the field option is located, you can go to the Tell Me text bar on the top and search for field. Click on field. Now, within field, what we want to insert is a reference to an existing style called Heading one. So choose the option that says style ref. In the field properties, we need to choose heading. One. Of course, if you want to include things such as the chapter name, you might also choose Title instead of heading one. Now, on the right side, you're going to see a bunch of options. For example, you can choose whether to include the first heading on every page or the last heading, one that appears on every page. You can also choose to include the header number. Let's say we're okay with the existing options. You will see that in the place where we had inserted the cursor, you're going to see Heading one for the first page. It now has information about the second heading. And let's go to the third pages with the third page has information about the third heading. Let's try deleting the headings. So we've deleted one of the headings. And we're going to see that the header section in all of the pages automatically updates to reflect the first heading one element on every page. Sometimes this takes some time to update. Once you save the document, you're going to see that on every page, the header element or the header section gets updated to reflect the header one element that is present on every PE how to insert Custom Footer. So typically you might want to include information such as the organization name in the standard footer section. However, sometimes you might want to have a custom footer that is updated with information corresponding to every page that appears on the procedure to insert a custom footer is the same goods section that says Insert field. And within Insert Field, choose the field name style drift. Because we want to insert the style reference to the style that is named heading one. As I mentioned, you can also include a reference to the style that says title. If you want to include the name of the title on each page of your document this time because we included the name of the title. You're going to see each page of the document have the name of the title as the footer. 8. How to Format Headings in Microsoft Word: Let's look at how to format the headings and numbering for your Word document. Formatting your headings and numbering is extremely useful, especially if you're writing a book, thesis, or report. That's because your publisher or institute might want to use a specific font, keys or formatting for your headings and number. That's why it's very important to outline your document using the available styles in Microsoft Word. Microsoft offers heading styles as paragraph and character styles. A paragraph in word is recognized as anything that includes a hard return after it. That is, when you press the Enter key, it's useful to apply heading styles, paragraph styles, because character styles do not allow you to specify numbering and some other formatting elements. Suppose you have text to which you want to apply a style that is extremely easy. Just select the text or place your cursor at the beginning of the text. Next, click the Home menu. You'll see all of the different styles available in the Styles section. Click the heading style you want and it gets applied to the text. Now, 40-foot publisher or its yield tells you that they want all the heading one elements in all caps. This means that you will need to modify the Heading one style, to reflect this change. An advantage of using styles in your documents is that this is a onetime effort to change one of the heading styles. Click the Home menu. If you see your heading style in the style section, you can right-click and choose, Modify, Expand the styles pane by clicking the arrow icon in the bottom right. Then go to the style you want to modify, right-click it and choose modify. The model is telling me do opens in the modify style when to choose the formatting that you want for this heading style. If you want to modify some other formatting options, such as the numbering, select format at the bottom of the dialog box, and select the other options available in the drop-down menu. If you want this mode for its style to apply only to the current document, then choose, Select only in this document. If you do not want to talk to meet styles to update when someone changes heading format in the document. Then to not select the option that says automatically update. Click Okey to press Enter. The entire document will change to reflect the change you meet the headings time. The other way to modify a style is to correctly format any text that has a heading style applied. After right-click the corresponding heading style and choose the option that says Update, Heading one or heading two style to Match Selection.

Now, Microsoft Word offers a bunch of tools to add and manage citations. Note that the available citation styles may vary slightly depending on your specific version of food. Let's go ahead and take a look at how to insert citations in your Word document. For reference, I'm using MS Word version 2019. The first thing to note is that Microsoft Word stores your sources in a current list that's only available for the current document. But Microsoft Word also stores your sources in what's called a master list, which is stored in a file on your computer and is available for all of your documents. If this is the first time that you are creating a citation, you will want to add a new source. To do that, go to the references menu and click on Insert Citation, Add new source in the source window.

How to Insert Equations in your Document: If your document involves equations of any kind, then you will be happy to know that Microsoft Word provides good support for you to easily add equations to your document. The easiest way to add an equation is to use the shortcut Alt. On your keyboard. You can take the backslash key, followed by the symbol name, and press the space bar. If you do not want to use the shortcut, you can go to the insert menu. Under equation tools. Click on the dropdown arrow button. You will see a built in dialog box where you can select the different types of equations. There are multiple sets of equations in the list. Select the equation that you require. Now, click on the equation or edited to modify the symbols are structures of the equation. You will see a new design menu bar open. This contains different types of symbols, equation, structure, fractions, integration, and many more options. If you want some more symbols, then click on the dropdown arrow under the symbol section. A basic math dialog box will open where you can choose different types of symbols for the equation. You can also insert equations manually. By clicking Insert equation, insert new equation, or by choosing ink equation. That's all you need to know about how to insert equations in your document. Thank you for watching. 18. How to Insert Equation Numbers Automatically: In a previous video, we covered how to include captions for tables or figures in your document. You can use a similar process for inserting automatic equation numbers. The standard way to number your equations is Arabic numerals in parentheses. And right aligned with your equation selected. Go to the references menu and choose Insert Caption. Choose the label as equation. Or do not specify a label. That is, choose the option. Exclude label from caption. If you want to specify your own label. For example, if you want to use parenthesis to label your equations, click on new label. Here, you can enter the parenthesis or any other texts that you want in your equation label, and then click OK. Next, you need to choose an appropriate numbering format for your equation. You can choose an appropriate number format by choosing numbering. To align the equation caption, select it, and specify the alignment by going to the home menu. In the paragraph section, you will see a bunch of alignment options. Here. You can choose the label to be right aligned. For example, whenever you add additional equations, the correct sequential number gets automatically inserted into your chosen capture. An alternative way to insert and align the equation and equation number is to insert a table with one row and three columns. Next, format the cell size of each column according to your needs. Then insert the equation and caption into the second, third column. Then center, align this table and remove the table borders. Finally, copy and paste this table whenever you want to insert a new equation and update the values appropriately. Thank you for watching. 19. How to Add Cross References to your Equations: If you have inserted the caption for your equations above or below the equation itself, then you can easily add a cross-reference to it. To do so, go to the references menu. Click on cross-reference. Select the reference type as equation, and choose the equation to which you want to add the cross-reference. The caption that you add, it is inserted at the specified location. Now, you can Control, click this entry at anytime to navigate directly to the equation. However, if the equation number is created on the same line as the equation, then you cannot directly cross-reference this number because work is going to treat the full equation as a caption. So if you try to insert a cross-reference to an equation, word is going to insert the equation along with the caption. To prevent this, you will need to create a bookmark with only the equation number and then add a cross reference to that bookmark. So to summarize, you need to create a bookmark that contains only the equation number. And then you need to create a cross-reference to that bookmark. To create a bookmark with the equation number. Select the equation number. Then on the Insert menu, click bookmark. Then enter a name for the bookmark, and click Add. Next to insert a cross-reference to this bookmark. Click the location where you want to insert the cross-reference. Then on references, click cross-reference. And in the reference type, select bookmarks, and then choose the bookmark that you had added. It is a good idea to select the Insert as hyperlink box checkbox. This ensures that you can control, click on this cross-reference and directly navigate to the reference equation. Now, what happens if you add or delete some equations? You will want your cross-references to update automatically. Do this, select the entire document by typing Control a, and then press F9 on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can right-click the numbers in your equation and choose updateFeed. That's only need to do about adding cross-references to your equations. 20. Set up Headings and Numbering Correctly in MS Word: I hate to tell you this, but you are using headings and numbering incorrectly in Word. Let's see what the problem is. Assume you have a set of bullet points, 123. It's easy to select them and choose the bulleted headings. There's no specific order in which these things must be done. So bullets work with. Now let's see what happens. If we try to apply the same logic to items that have some sequence to them, assume that you have this kind of numbering applied. Now, assume that you have some headings in-between. You have a heading one, heading two, and heading three. You can see that the numbering for these texts, where you have headings and normal text does not follow a specific pattern. Even if I were to select this and choose heading one, you'll see that I'm losing the heading number for this heading. And likewise, if I choose heading to hear and heading three here, you can see that normal text is being number, but the headings are not being number. Selecting all your headings and choosing this option that says 123 is not going to help you do the correct numbering when you have headings in the picture. You might think that I'll apply a different way of numbering these headaches. For instance, you might see that let me go and change this heading style. Let me go to the formatting and let me select numbering. And here you can select one of the predefined number formats or define your own number format. Assume that we select this number format for heading one. I have another heading one. You select Heading one. You think that the numbering is correct. The problem actually occurs when you have a heading two here. So you select heading two and you want to provide numbering for healing to as well. You modify your style. Choose numbering, and you choose the same number format or a different number format. And click on, Okay. Now you see that food has restarted the numbering for hitting too. Even though this heading two appears under Heading one. So there is no V, either when you're using this kind of numbering or modifying the styles to tell word that you want to restart the numbering for this heading and give it a number such as three dot one. So the correct way to do numbering in bird is as follows. Let's first undo whatever we did. Let's remove any numbering that we applied to the headings. So we've removed all of the numbering. We have our headings in place now. Know we want to give numbering to these headings such that you get a number such as one here. One dot one, dot one dot two for this heading. Boo here to row one, to row two, and so on. The correct way to set up the numbering for this is to go here. Select any of the numbering options, or choose the option that says, define a new multilevel. This sure, Puffin want to do is for lemon one. We can choose the formatting the way we want. Let's say we want one followed by a period. Now, you need to click on More and see that you need to link this level, the Heading one style. All our heading ones are now number correctly. We need to do the same thing for the heading 2s as well. So let's go back here. You need to go to level two here and see that we want to link level two heading to choose to include the level number from level one. Choose to restart the list after level one, which is linked to headache. But let's click on, Okay. This is how you can set up the headings and numberings. 21. How to Wrap Text Around Images in Microsoft Word: Oftentimes you will want to insert some shapes, pictures, or icons in your Word document. It's straightforward to insert an image into a Word document. However, after inserting the image, you will want to have the text in your document wrap around the figure in different ways. Let's check out the different ways to wrap text around your fingers in MS Word. By default, MS Word will create the shape, picture, or icon that you've inserted as just another block of text. So it's going to place it in line with the text around it. If you add to the texts around that image, then the image will keep moving around based on the alignment that you have selected for it. However, this is not the ideal way to wrap the text around figures who certainly do not want your images to be moving around as you add text. Fortunately, word offers you a bunch of wrapping options that you can select when you insert an image into your document. As soon as you insert the image, you will see a small button that floats to the right of the image. You can click this button to view a bunch of image wrapping options to change the wrapping strive for your image. If you're not happy with any of these quick layout options, you reform to check out all of the available wrapping options. Whenever you insert, an image, would adds a new context menu called graphics format. Within graphics format, under the orange section, you will see an option, Wrap Text. Click on More layout options to see a bunch of options for the position, wrapping and size. On the text wrap and tap. You can use the Wrap Text and distance from text sections to specify whether you want to have the image wrapped on both sides are only the left or right side. You can also choose how far the image must be from the text. When you insert an image into your Word document, you'll notice under the position tap that the default option for images is move objects with text, which means that your object is going to move along with the text around it. I recommend that you uncheck this option so that your images fixed and do not keep moving. Of course, if you have a use case that requires image to move along with the text, then keep that selected. In general, word is going to keep your image and the paragraph into which you inserted it together. When you click your image, you will notice a small anchor symbol. If you had selected move objects with text, then your image will move along with your text. Otherwise, uncheck, move objects with texts and lock the anchor to a fixed position on your page so that the image stays in its place, even if the text around it is delete. To do so, choose the option that says Lock ankle. After you have set your image wrapping object. You can also set this wrapping side as the default for all the future majors. Do that. Click the image and on the graphics format context menu. Go to wrap text and choose the option that says Set as Default layout. If you are submitting a research paper to a conference, then you'll typically use a two column layout. Most publications will require you to place your figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. And to avoid placing them in the middle of columns. For large figures and tables, you may be able to place them such that they may span across the columns. I hope that this video gave you a good overview of the different image wrapping options available in Microsoft Word. Thank you for watching. 22.

Improve Accessibility by adding Alt Text to your Figures and Icons: One important aspect to consider about the documents that you write is accessibility. If someone is using a screen reader to view your document, then if you figures or icons do not contain alternative text or alt text, they will know that they have reached a picture, but they will not know what the picture shows. If you have added alt-text, then they will hear the alt texts and immediately knew what the figure or icon or ship is all about. Therefore, it's extremely crucial that you add alt text, your figures, charts, shapes, and icons. To add alt text to your figure or any other image object.

Use the Outline view in MS Word to quickly review and organize your work: You all know that if you are creating a business document, lengthy report, or even a book, then an outline is extremely important. Microsoft Word has a great feature that is actually very useful for structuring your content effectively. However, hardly anyone knows about this feature. The feature is called Outline View. Let's understand what is Outline View. Outline view is one of the views available within the view menu in Microsoft Word. It provides a very powerful way to navigate and structure sections of your document. Note that using the outline view requires you to use the defined styles in Microsoft Word. If you use the styles such as heading one, heading two, and so on, then you can use the outline view to structure your document. Let's now look at how to use the outline view in Microsoft Word. When you display your document in outline view, a new context menu called outlining appears. The main section in this view is the outline tools section. Let's review the options available in this section. The leftmost symbol with two arrows is the Promote to heading one option. It allows you to promote the current item to the highest outline level. That is two heading one. Sometimes you may want to promote the current item, but you might not want to promote it all the way to heading one. For instance, you might want to promote a heading two item to a heading, one item. In that case, you can use this left arrow symbol to promote the outline level of this item by one level. If you want to just see or change the outline level for the chosen item, then you will see a drop-down. You can view and choose the outline level, the selected item. Just as you had the promote options. You can also click one of these two symbols on the right to either demote the outline level of this item by one level or two, demoted to the lowest outline level. That is to body texts. You can also choose the Move up symbol to move the item up within the outline. Or the move down symbol to move the item down within the outline. If you want to not only see the outline, but also the subheadings and text, then click the Expand button. Likewise, if you want to hide the subheadings and text, click the collapse. But next, we come to an important option called Show level. This option allows you to select which outline levels must be shown. For instance, if you choose level one, you will see only heading one style. If you choose level two, you will see both heading one styles and heading 2's trials and so on. Sometimes you may want to see only your content without any special formatting. You'll see an option show text formatting. You can uncheck this option to turn off the display of any format. All of your texts will now appear in your default font without any special formatting. Sometimes, along with the heading titles, you might want to see some of the body texts, but not the entire text in that section. In this case, you also have a show first-line only option. If you choose this option, you can see only the first body texts line inside each item. The biggest advantage of using the outline view comes with the ability to move portions of text to a new position without having to select, copy and paste it using the normal view. You can also use the move up and move down tools to track the items with your mouse. To summarize, as you just saw, you can use the outline view to quickly navigate to and structures sections of your document without worrying about the content of those sections. This allows you to plan and layout larger documents, such as a book that you're working on or a research paper. Thank you for watching. 28. Use the Outline View to Create and Manage Chapters as Subdocuments for your Book: You all know that if you're creating a business document, lengthy report, or even a book, then an outline is extremely important. Microsoft Word has a great feature that's actually very useful for structuring your content. However, hardly anyone knows about this feature. This feature is called outline view. Using the outline view in Microsoft Word, you can structure your documents into a hierarchical relationship such that one document becomes the master document, and the others are considered sub-documents. For instance, your master document might be the book that you're writing, and each sub-document might be each chapter in that book. The outline view has a section called master document, which allows you to see the hyperlinks of the different chapters that you've added. With the file names of those chapters in blue font and underlined. You can move the most monitored over a link to change it to a pointing fingers. And if you click on that link, microsoft Word will open the sub-document in its own separate window. Let's see how to create and manage chapters as sub-documents for your book. If you want to include some documents such as book chapters into your master document, click shoe document in the master document section in the outline view. If you want to create a new document or chapter as a sub-document, then click Create. You can then enter some text corresponding to the sub-document. Otherwise, if you already have competent for your sub-document, suggests a chapter or a contract, then click on insert. After you've included sub-document using either create or Insert option, you can use the collapse sub-documents button to collapse the documents content and display only a hyperlink to it. Will insert the name of the file as a hyperlink. If at anytime you wish to view the content of that file, then you'll see the collapse sub-documents option change into expand sub-documents. Clicking expand sub-documents allows you to quickly expand that item and do its content. Once again. The master document section in outline view includes a bunch of other options to help you manage your chapters or other types of sub-documents. The first option called unlinked, remove the hyperlink to the sub-document and copies only the text to the current document. The option merge works when you're using more than one chapter or sub-document. You can use it to merge all of the content from each sub-document into the first sub-document. The options split is when you want to separate content for your chapter or sub-document into multiple smaller documents, then you can specify the insertion point and create a split at that insertion point. Finally, you can use the log document option if you want to prevent any changes to the master document from propagating into the chapters or sub-documents. We just saw how you can create and manage chapters as sub-documents for your book. Thank you for watching. 29. How to write an IEEE Research Paper using MS Word: If you were writing a research paper, report or thesis, then the institute or publication that you're submitting a paper to might have provided you with a template. Until about a few years ago. Major science and technology publications used to provide you with templates in the form of lytic. Lytic is actually a type-setting engine and programming language in which you specify the competent and provide commands to format sections of your country. Uses accidentally typeset document. However, in recent years, most science and technology publications allow you to submit a draft for research papers or thesis reports using Word documents. Typically, the institute or publication will provide you with instructions about the format and fonts to use. Or they may even provide you with a template in the form of a Word document containing instructions that you can use to quickly format your report or paper. In this video, let's take the example of an I Tripoli template and see how to write a sample research paper using Microsoft Word. I have downloaded the paper template. I have also provided a link to the paper template in the description of this video. So be sure to download the template and try along. Let's start with the template instructions. Let's see, we have the title for our people. It's asking us to use the style that is named paper title. Let's select our title and check the styles section. If the paper type style does not appear in the quick gallery, then you need to click the down arrow icon and click apply styles to see a listing of all the available styles. Then choose the people titles time. Next. The template already gives us space to add the names of up to six authors. So we can directly edit the provided details and add the name of the authors that departments, organisation, and other details. If we check the next page in the template for instructions about this, it says that for peoples with more than six authors, add author names horizontally, moving to a third row if needed for more than eight authors. But for people with less than six authors to change the default. Adjust the template as follows. Selection, highlight all the author and affiliation lines, the true bad, and change the number of columns by selecting the columns icon from the MS Word standard toolbar. And then select the correct number of columns from the selection palette. So assume we have only two authors for our people. Let's try to select the author selection here and change the columns to two from the default of three. Next, we need to add an abstract for our people. Again, they have provided you with a sample abstract. If you click anywhere in this abstract, you will notice that it uses the style named abstract as they've already provided you with some sample content. If you have content for your abstract, you can directly paste your content on top of this content. And you can even add some keywords. In many of my previous videos, I've highlighted the importance of using styles to organize the content in your Word documents. If you look at the second page of this template, will be noticed that the template instructions also highly recommend that you use styles. Let's read that particular section. Component heads identify the different components of your paper and are not topically subordinate to each other. Examples include acknowledgements and references. And for these, the correct style to use is the heading five style figure caption for your figure captions and people hit for your table title. Running heads, such as abstract, will require you to apply a style in addition to the style provided by the drop-down menu to differentiate the head from the texts. So in this case the mean italics. The main takeaway from this set of instructions is to use the styles heading one to heading to, based on your headings. And use the heading five style for your acknowledgments and references. You should also be using figure caption for figure captions and the table head style for the table title. Let's now look at how to add figures and tables. Let's see for the template seats, please, figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the fingers. People's heads should appear about the tables. Let's try to add a sample figure. Note that they want us to use the label fig caption for your figures and to use 8 Times New Roman font. For tables, they want us to use the table head above the table. From the example. They seem to prefer uppercase for the table head and to use Roman numerals for the table number. Let's now look at how to add equations. Let's first review the instructions in the template. You will need to determine whether or not your equation should be typed using either Times New Roman or the symbol font. Please do not use any other font. To create a multilevel equations. It may be necessary to treat the equation as a graphic and insert it into the text of your paper is styled. Let's assume we do not have multi-level equations for now. Let's try to enter a sample equation. The easiest way is to use the alt plus E shortcut, followed by the backslash key and the symbol name. To enter symbols, you need to add a space of the symbol name. And you'll see that symbol up here. Or you can also use the Insert menu and the equation drop-down to add your equations. Let's look at the instructions for the equation number. Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers within parenthesis are to be positioned flush, right? As in one in parenthesis. Using a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus, the exponential function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not for Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen four, a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence as a plus B equals. Note that equation must be centered using a center tap Stop. Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately follow the equation. Reference the equation, use one italics in parenthesis, not one our equation been except at the beginning of a sentence. Note that they want your equation number to appear to the right. They also want to equation to be at the center. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to write your equation and numbering separately. Alternatively, you can insert a table with three columns. Then remove the table borders and insert your equation and equation number in the second, third column, respectively. To cross-reference the equation. The font to use italics, one in parentheses, and not one or equation been except at the beginning of a sentence. To do this, we can add a cross-reference by going to the Preferences menu. Let's add a cross-reference to the equation and specify port should appear in the position where you're adding the cross-reference. Next, let us add some acknowledgments and references. They want you to use the steady heading five for the acknowledgment and references component heads. So let's do that by going to the style section on the home menu. Finally, you will need to insert a list of references. If you're using words built-in reference manager or even a free reference manager suggests Zotero. This is easy to do. If you've gone through some of my earlier videos on adding references to your document. Well, that covers pretty much everything you need to know about how to format your research paper so that it's suitable for submission to a publication such as ITP. Thank you for watching.
