      Text Processing for Students - Ina Koys

      When doing Word trainings in companies, people of all ages will participate. But especially young graduates will sometimes sigh: ‘I should have known that when writing my thesis!’ That makes me remember my own studies when the computer was fairly new, we all still struggled with the software and had nobody to teach us the basics.

      Wherever one needs to submit texts for evaluation, it’s about the content. This is what the author needs to spend the time for, not the small stuff like checking the size of headings or correct pagination. Therefore, we’ll here be delegating all of that to Word, so you don’t need to bother anymore. We will stick to the important topics. If you really want to learn everything, I recommend the tomes of 600 pages.

      You may consider optics as less important. But do keep in mind: a professional look can get you the half point it may take to the better result!

      Here, all examples are shown using Word 365. But most of them can be done very similar also in different versions and different applications. The general principle is the same for any text processing, only details differ.

      It can be very convenient to have some kind of template to begin with, not only a white sheet of paper. One of course can adapt it to one’s own or the corrector’s taste. But the main thing is a structured start to support the train of thought and to avoid needless extra work.

      One way to get it done are the templates, offered by Microsoft with every installation. Especially if not restricted to clear company guidelines, they are worth getting checked out. You’ll find them clicking File / New, in the so-called Backstage Area. Using a keyword like ‘college’ you may find a template that suits your plans.

      Most likely, it won’t fit perfectly. And it did happen that a Microsoft supplied template was of a kind that I refused to struggle with it. But that’ no problem - these suggestions are not set in stone and can be changed as freely as a blank sheet. All techniques we’ll be covering can also be used to adapt these templates to your needs.

      The templates suggested by Microsoft come and go. Therefore, it makes little sense to use one out of them as a starting point for the examples here in this booklet. We’ll do
