Writing a large piece of work at any level of one’s Academic life a challenging undertaking. Whether it be a large essay, an undergraduate dissertation, a Masters dissertation, a Masters Thesis, Doctoral Thesis or a PhD Thesis, the same challenges are present when it comes to creating such a document. Although our academic proofreading service can cater for all your academic proofreading needs, in terms of checking for errors, consistency, spelling and grammar; the challenge of formatting and managing the document is one which still has to be undertaken by you, the student.
So, to help you along with that, we have developed guides and tools in conjunction with several academic institutions designed to help you create, manage and maintain your documents. So now you can focus on actually writing your Masters dissertation or PhD thesis without worrying about updating headers and contents pages!
Writing essays is an integral part of the route to becoming a degree holder. Universities are required to test the research and writing skills by providing you with challenging essay questions. This, alongside exams will ultimately determine the grade which you attain. Presentation marks are usually forgotten by students. Whether it be an essay or a dissertation, marks for presentation are usually in the region of 5% to 10%. Therefore, if you focus a few minutes per essay on applying those finishing touches then that could mean the difference between the grade boundaries.
Here at ProofreadMyEssay, we come across thousands of academic essays. Although our proofreading service can help with optimising your content to make it as successful as possible, we wanted to show students like yourself how to create great looking documents with ease. Therefore, we aim to equip you with the ability to obtain the highest marks possible
The key objective of this page is to detail what we believe you should be keeping in mind whilst formatting your essay for submission.
We have put together a comprehensive guide to formatting using Microsoft Word 2007, the guide specifically covers:-
- Inserting cover pages
- Creating pre-linked contents pages
- Managing heading and text formatting
- Inserting various page breaks
- Headers and footers
- Creating dynamic figure referencing
- Inserting lists of figures, tables and charts.
Many of these tools, if used correctly, could potentially save lots of time when creating and maintaining large pieces of coursework. For example, using the figure referencing tool, when you label a figure, Word will keep a track of the numbering, so if you insert a figure before the one you just referenced, Word will renumber the figures so you don’t have to.
All these points are covered in our downloadable document 'Guide to Formatting in Microsoft Word 2007'
