Think about the last time you needed to write a report, paper or even a thesis… Probably not under your top 10 favourite experiences.

For this reason, I have collected 5 simple and highly effective tips for writing your next paper with Microsoft Word.
Check out the video to learn how you can make your life easier and get your next paper formatted to a tee.

Hi there! I'm Valentina and as you may have noticed based on the content of my blog, I am a sucker for any software and hack that simplifies everyday study and business life. In this blog I am sharing how you can get the most out of the Microsoft 365 apps without drowning in a sea of digital chaos. While we have a multitude of options available, in my professional life as well as in my studies I was and still am mainly working with programs such as Microsoft OneNote, Word, PowerPoint and Excel. But now more than ever we are faced with the question of how we communicate and collaborate within a virtual world. That's where the Microsoft services like OneDrive, Teams and not to forget Outlook come into play. Join me in leveraging the potential of Microsoft 365 so technology becomes an advantage rather than an everyday source of frustration!

  3. Thank you Valentina for the great video! I can also recommend to use add ins like Citavi or Grammarly to make the most of Microsoft Word. 🙂

    1. Hi Simon, many thanks for your comment!
      You are absolutely right, Citavi and Zotero (for Mac users) are great and can make the referencing process even simpler.
      I haven’t used Grammarly before but I’ll definitely consider it for my upcoming master’s thesis ?
