Essential Microsoft Word Tips for Thesis Writing

"We might all put "Microsoft Office" on our CV, but people from academic don't know how to REALLY use Microsoft word."

This was from an actual informational interview with another Medical Writer. I thought that was quite harsh.

Having worked as a full-time medical writer, I can confirm she was SO RIGHT!

Fear not, today I am sharing the essential Microsoft Word tips that would be enough for you to feel a lot more on top of thesis/manuscript writing.

And perhaps, this could path the way for many PhD students and postdocs to start a career in Medical Writing as well!

These tips and tricks are indeed useful!!! I have figured them out during my PhD and I am glad that you made a video about these tricks.
I still have a question. I want to use the Master document feature of MS Word for writing my PhD thesis, but this feature is not working anymore. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative option in MS Word? Thank you very much for your videos so far!

Don't forget to do your hackerrank and leet code practice. Study your data structures because y'all gonna end up with industry jobs anyways.
