Thesis Formatting Using Word
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
- Virtual event
“Begin as you mean to go on.” Or, format your research document before you start to write so that you can easily finalize your thesis, dissertation or other research project and submit your work on time.
In this hands-on workshop designed for students in the arts and social sciences, we introduce participants to basic functions in Microsoft Word that allow them to format documents so that they leave with a template for their research project.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to use functions in MS Word to:
- Choose a theme or style
- Create a table of contents using headings and sub-headings
- Add captions to images and figures
