Note before I start: I am working in Word 2016 in the United States. That said, I am not a total Word expert however, I do know which Word features are useful for academic work. The practical knowledge from that class has helped me countless times over the years,В even as different iterations of Word have appeared on the market. Now, I have zero regrets about taking that class. I was not pleased at the time-it was a required pre-requisite for a web design class, which I thought was silly (and I still do). In high school, I took a class solely on Microsoft Word for a semester. Over the years, people have asked me questions about their Word problems. This purpose of this post is to explain some useful Word features for academic work. While googling solutions can sometimes help, it can be hard to describe what your exact problem is. Add that to the stress of formatting your thesis or dissertation, and you may seriously consider throwing your laptop out the window (i.e., the defenestration dilemma). Yet every now and then, something will come up in Word, and it will cause you to spend 10 minutes to an hour cursing at Word to fix one little problem. Well,В it beats using a typewriter at any rate. Mostly, Word is great for what you need it to do. Unless youвЂ™ve totally converted over to RMarkdown (using papaja), LibreOffice, or Google Docs, chances are, youвЂ™re still using Microsoft Word for your academic work.
