When editing graduation thesis, the overall format of the thesis should be defined in advance to ensure the minimum changes in the later editing process. Graduation thesis writing specifications usually stipulate page margins, binding lines, paper orientation, header and footer distance and paper type, which are all set in the page layout.

Opens the Page Layout tab, where you can make the above settings. One thing to note is the use of document networks. For example, if the text of the paper requires a line spacing of 22 points, you can modify the line spacing to the corresponding value.

Click the "Font Settings" button to change the font format to the required text format in the paper, because the text content in the paper is the most. After setting it here, the typesetting time can be reduced.

2. Add headers and footers

Graduation thesis needs to add a header and footer, and it is not difficult to simply add the same header and footer. However, when the paper is long, the title of each chapter may be different. If different chapters are divided into two word documents, it may be difficult to automatically generate a table of contents, or paper may be wasted when printing on both sides. In fact, to set different headers and footers, you can use section break of word.

(1). Insert section break. Position the cursor at the end of the first chapter, click Page Layout-Delimiter-section break, and select section break as the next page. The cursor is inserted into the section break, and the text under section break belongs to another section.

(2) Select Insert-Title. If we need the title of each chapter to be independent, then cancel the "Link to the title of the previous chapter" button, and then modify the titles of subsequent chapters. If the page numbers of the footer are still arranged independently at this time, you can edit the footer uniformly by changing the page number format to "Continued from the previous section".

3. Deal with three-level titles.

There is a unified format for all levels of characters in the paper, such as first-level title, second-level title and third-level title. Make the whole paper look coherent and structured. Generally, graduation thesis is divided into three topics, which are rich in content and clear in organization. We can use the style function provided by word to complete it.

1. Select the multilevel list in the Start-paragraph, and then select Define a new multilevel list.

2. Select 1 in the Level list of the pop-up dialog box to indicate the definition of the first-level title, and then select a numbering method in Numbering Style. You can also enter the text before and after the number, such as "Chapter 1", and then modify the font, number position and other attributes.

3. Repeat the above steps.

4. Add the number of charts and formulas and set them as needed.

In graduation thesis, especially for engineering majors, there are a lot of charts and formulas that need to be numbered. If you count one by one, once one of them changes, the others need to be changed, which is time-consuming and laborious. Using the title function of word, charts and formulas will be numbered automatically, and everything that references the chart or formula can be modified automatically when the number changes.

(1). Select the first chart in the article and name it "Table 1". x”。 Select Reference-Insert Caption to open the Caption dialog box.

(2) Create a new label, change the caption name to "Figure 1" and confirm. When you want to insert the second table, repeat this step, and the order of wordg~ diagrams in the article will be numbered automatically.

(3) When quoting these numbers in the document, as shown in table 1. 1, first select the caption text, then select Insert-Bookmark, and then give the bookmark a name and confirm. Move the cursor to the place to be referenced, click Insert-Cross Reference, and select Bookmark as the reference type and Bookmark Text as the reference content in the pop-up dialog box.

(4) When the number of the chart or formula changes, click the reference text with the right mouse button and select "Update Field" in the pop-up menu, and the number will be automatically updated.

5. Adjust the line width

There are two ways to set the line width: one is a table and the other is a header.

(1). Line width of the table.

Professional graduation thesis usually requires the use of three-line tables, that is, tables with thick upper and lower lines and thin columns. We usually use the default table form of word to draw, and then change the table properties to change the effect. This process is very complicated. We can draw a table with the following steps:

Step 1: Select Insert-Table and select Concise 1 in the pop-up dialog box.

Step 2: Remove the checkmark in front of "Last Line" and set it as the default format.

(2). Title line width

When setting the header, there is an underline under the header text. If you don't want this line, you can select the text in the header, select Start-Paragraph-Border and Shading, select the custom option in the pop-up dialog box, and click the bottom border button to remove this underline. If you want to set other linetypes, you can also set them in this dialog box.

Step 6 make a catalog

A complete paper must contain a table of contents. If you enter it manually, it will easily lead to wrong page numbers or untidy directories. When the content of the article changes, the table of contents will not be updated automatically. To solve this problem, you can use the table of contents function in word. To make a directory, you must first set the three-level title mentioned above. Position the cursor at the beginning of the article, select Reference-Table of Contents, select a table of contents style as required, and then determine the display level as required, and a beautiful and tidy table of contents will appear.

If you don't use styles during editing, you can set them in the outline toolbar. Move the cursor to the front of the text of Chapter 1, select level 1 in the text drop-down box, repeat this process, and then use the previous directory generation method to set it.

If the content of the article changes after the table of contents is generated, you need to update the table of contents. Right-click anywhere in the directory and select Update Domain. In the pop-up dialog box, there are two options, one is to update only the page number, and the other is to update the whole directory. Just choose according to the actual situation.
