Most people will say that you need to learn LaTeX to make good thesis however I completely disagree with that statement. Now a days MS Word has almost all the features and infact more than what LaTeX provides. Moreover you need to learn LaTeX which is time consuming task if you are new to it.

1.) LaTeX has heading (h1, h2, ….) this you can do in word and they too have heading and can be customized. See https://youtu.be/oKTu5uYW7zc

These video will definitely help you to write Thesis in most efficient way and in least time. My friend didn’t listen to me and had to pay price in terms of time and effort required for regular editing which could have been done automatically in word like changing figures no/referred figure, bibliography, typing equation, making table of content and all others things that could be automated. This video technique will help you not only now but in your future carrier and I bet you will save lot of time (days) by doing things intelligently.
