The Dissertation/FYP thread 2008

Just found it's 12p per sheet for colour, 4p grayscale. Only 21/63 pages will therefore be on the colour printer, then manually sorting them together myself! :)
 
Handed mine in on Friday. Took me an age to sort out the contents page but did it in the end. Printed it off at home (yippee for £1 printer carts!) and got 2 copies wire bound at the stationary store for £5.

Currently crying because i've got another essay due in tommorow, nearly finished but having a hard time getting the motivation to do it. Working tommorow aswell so gonna have to go in super early.
 
if you havent handed it in yet
there is a very quick and easy way of doing contents
In word
Code: 
Insert->reference->index and tables->table of contents
Yes you want to see the outline toolbar

This will add a table to the page you selected, you should see
"Error! No table of contents entries found."

If you close the outline toolbar by accident you can turn it back on by going
Code: 
View->Toolbar->Outlining
To add things to the contents table,
select the text
And select "level 1" on the outlining toolbar
Code: 
Now press "Update TOC" -> entire table
And see the contents appear

Saves you checking the pages and references :)

Repeat the aboce for figures and tables, but when it comes to adding instead of using the outlining toolbar you go
Code: 
Insert->Reference->Caption

This will save you hours of work, in checking and cross checking

Best bit is that as you add new pages and contents the contents table will auto adjust itself,
remember to update the tables before you submit and check you selected the right text before you submit tho :)

Good luck. :)

I've got my project presentation at 2.15pm today. Can't sleep, sun shining through the blind like the sun is right next to my flat. Have been awake since 6am and not going into Uni until I meet a mate at 12.10.

I'm gonna be knackered tonight. :(
 
Gotta whip up my references and write a conclusion then gotta do the boring drive down the east lancs to frederick rd campus and hand this mofo in, then back home and off to work! Then just one more to go!
 
Allerton! I'm working at 1pm, and i'm fairly sure the tools in our department won't allow us to hand in till 12pm. Same with anything else, you can only hand in on the hand in date, not before, ridiculous if you ask me.
