  • This video covers how to format tables and figures properly in your research paper. Also, how to automatically add formatted captions and references in the text that will update automatically.
    I teach in Japan, so I used a Japanese version of Windows 7 and MS Word 2013 to make this video-although my explanations are in English. So, apologies to any viewers who don't use Japanese.
    You can turn off the subtitles by clicking the CC button, and make sure to watch it in HD so you can see all the buttons clearly.

    At first I was mad that everything was all in Japanese, but now I'm super happy because you explained everything and I got my tables right, even with all the visual instructions written in Japanese. Thanks.

    Thank you for sharing this instruction. I truly appreciate that you use the Japanese version for explaining this because it is exactly how I use my PC even though I am doing my research project for Doctor of Nursing Practice. やっぱり日本語表示の方がわかりやすいです^^ 助かりました。有難うございます!

      +Aymen AlAwady Thanks for the comment. I teach Japanese students so I used the Japanese version of both Word and Windows for them. I must admit it's a little strange to be speaking English and pointing to Japanese words on the screen.

    • @stevekirk4226
      @stevekirk4226  5 лет назад

      Sorry for the late reply. That's great that it worked for Greek. I suppose the buttons are all in the same places and you'd need to do all the same things to make it work in English.

    May i know that in some research, the subheading bottom border is actually separated by small gap. How to acheive this in ms word?
    Because it seems like that solely applying the bottom border will create a continuous line, making it hard to discern some important subheadings

    in this example, what would be the independent variable and what would be the dependent variable? thanks in advance

    • @stevekirk4226
      @stevekirk4226  7 лет назад

      In the figure example, the independent variables are kind of water (fresh vs. sea) and time, and the dependent variable is the weight of the fish. In the table, the independent variables are condition (facial-constraint vs. control) and gender, and the dependent variables are reaction time and error percentage.
      In graphs, the independent variables are on the x-axis (and colors etc.), and the dependent variable is the y-axis. In tables, usually the independent variable is vertical and the dependent variable is horizontal, but it might be the other way depending on what fits on the page.

      @Bojanarules 7 лет назад

      No worries, one can just follow corresponding english options/settings. It was just funny to see Japanese all of a sudden and perfect English in the background. :D I just remembered Japanglish pronunciation of words when I went to Japan on summer program. They are so adorable when they try to speak English. :D As Japanese girls use to say: Kawaiii :D LOL

    the video would have been helpful even with the words being in Japanese if you were to say what you're clicking instead of saying click here. for example, click on insert then table to helo people who do not read Japanese.

  • @babygirl4949
    @babygirl4949 6 лет назад +6

    Why would you speak in English but have the word document in Japanese?! How does that make any sense? Especially if you’re saying “click here” and not saying what you’re actually clicking. Tutorials are supposed to make it easier, not harder.

    • @stevekirk4226
      @stevekirk4226  6 лет назад +6

      I made this video for my students, who are Japanese, and wasn't really expecting anyone else to watch it. My students were making the opposite complaints, like "your computer is all in English, but we all have Japanese Office", so I replaced an earlier video with this one. Since other people seem to be watching this, I do plan to make an English-only one with the latest Windows and Office when I get a chance. And I say "click here" because I didn't want to use the Japanese words like "click on the kouetsu tab" and it seemed weird to say "click on the review tab" when the button didn't say "review". So that's the method behind the madness. Sorry for the annoyance!
