- "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!

@@PhDCoffeeTime Welcome
Thank you! I like the Pinned Comment here too, very organised 😁
When I was a PhD student I already knew these tips. The first thing did its to learn about softwares that I need for my study. Learning can never stop
Great tips Vera - Wish I had this when I wrote my thesis back in the day :)
Thank you so much, this is really helping with my thesis!
Thank you for putting up this video please bring more videos on tips and tricks for medical writers.❣
Omg! These tips are amazing! Thank you so much! The second pane for reviewing? Mind blown! 🤯 How have I never seen it???? ❤️
I was mind blown too! I felt exactly that same way when my colleagues showed me the section viewing pane. Glad this tip is helping more people out there :)
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad to hear that, it's a summary from a few months of my Medical Writing training! Hope this saves some time for you!
Thank you so much for these amazing tips, Vera! Merci beaucoup !
It's my great pleasure, Helena. Je vous en prie!
I have just submitted my 250 pages of PhD thesis and now you are teaching all about this!
Congratulations on submission!
Congratulations on submitting PhD thesis! If you get the thesis feedback you can always use these tips when editing :)
Incredible tips !! Waouh, this will be so helpful, thank you !😄
Please spread this with more students and save them time for more science!
Given that I'm now watching this video of you, Vera, means I'm at 'that' stage now ;) Thanks for the tips!
Great news, Kevin. You've got this!
Thank you, useful tips!
Thanks, Marshall!
Thank you
Can youplease make us a video about how you became medical writer please?
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!
I am glad you appreciate this video. You must be a rock star PhD student if you have figured all these tricks on your own! Let me know if you ever want a to start career in medical writing :)
I wish I have a smarter answer to your question, but I have not used the master document feature. However, the straight-forward solution that could work as a quick fix is to save a separate file as "thesis_template.doc".
At work, we use template document like this quite often, usually sections to be updated are highlighted in yellow/red fonts, so the writer will remember not to accidentally incorporate wrong information. Hope this sharing helps you!
Please add a video on how to properly insert a picture and giving them captions
Thanks for the suggestion, well noted!
what does a medical writer do?
A lifesaver
I am pleased to hear that!
thanks

Perfect!
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.
This is probably very specific to computer science and engineering PhDs! In my case, coming from life sciences and I can work in the industry without any coding skills. FYI, I am that colleague who cries for help when I need to install a printer lol
Team LaTex here😎
I am guessing you are in Engineering! If you have tips to share, feel free to email me at phdcoffeetime@gmail.com (I can feature your contribution because I don't use LaTex!)
you are not teaching. you just inform to people what you know. maybe your audience are just PhD folks
