This is not a blog post, but just sharing the report template used for the final semester dissertation\/project at BITS, Pilani. I guess this is common to MS SS & MM courses offered by DLPD (WILPD). This is the result of the numerous email that keep floating during the semester, only adding to the confusion. So I created a Word template that one can use right away, for lazy bums like me who start late. Just define custom properties, and the report template will automatically fill itself up.<\/p>\n

Usage:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download<\/a> the file from either of the 2 links:
    \n–     DocStoc<\/a> (latest)
    \n–     Box.Net<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. On Windows, right-click, go to ‘Properties’, then the ‘Custom’ tab<\/li>\n
  3. You will see all the fields used in the document like Report Title, Mentor Name, Student ID, etc.<\/li>\n
  4. If not, in MS WORD 2007, go to ‘Prepare’ > ‘Properties’ from the OFFICE menu. Then ‘Document Properties’ > ‘Advanced Properties’ on the yellow band and ‘Custom’ tab on the pop-up.<\/li>\n
  5. To modify a value,
    \n– Click on the field name in the field list
    \n– Change the ‘Value’ above
    \n– Click ‘Modify’
    \n– Repeat this procedure for all fields<\/li>\n
  6. Do not delete any of the fields.<\/li>\n
  7. Open the document now, select all the text (CTRL + A) and press F9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I have taken care of the fonts, page numbers, table of contents, etc. You can copy-paste one of the existing chapters to create a new one. However, if something is missing as per the checklist, please bring it to everyone’s attention. We can discuss this via comments below.<\/p>\n

    Wishing you all good luck without your report & viva!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This intelligent template is dedicated to Sonal Purandare who motivated me to get started on the report and offered immense support in difficult times.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
