From the book cover:
Time is one of our most precious commodities-especially to a
student completing a Master's or PhD and having to type their own
thesis or dissertation, as most 21st century students now do. What
would you do with an extra month to work on your dissertation? If
you had to assign a financial value to a month, what would that be?
That is the bold claim of this book-that typical students with a
standard knowledge of Microsoft Word completing a full PhD
dissertation who know and use the information provided in this book
might be able to submit their dissertation approximately a month
earlier (or have an extra month's worth of time to focus on their
research work). This claim is made on the basis of the author's
extensive experience in assisting students with problems
encountered in the typing of their dissertations and teaching these
principles to postgraduate students in a focused Microsoft Word
training course. But it gets better. The techniques presented in
this book do not save time by taking shortcuts that impinge on the
quality of the final product. In fact, the focus of these
techniques is how to improve the quality of the submitted
dissertation by avoiding the mistakes students commonly make as a
result of their lack of knowledge about the features offered by
Microsoft Word. In other words, better quality work is obtained by
employing techniques that simultaneously allow students to work
faster. So what will you do with your month?
