Thesis Formatter

Hand in a thesis that looks the part.

You have written the chapters. What stands between you and submission is the structure your faculty expects: a contents page that is actually correct, lists of figures and tables, the right page numbering, and footnotes that behave. The Thesis Formatter builds all of it around your work, without touching a word of your argument.

Built for Masters and doctoral submissions: contents page, lists of figures and tables, Roman and Arabic pagination, captions, and per-chapter footnotes, all to submission standard.

The structure examiners expect, built for you

A long thesis is held together by its apparatus, not just its prose. We build that apparatus properly, so the document reads and submits as one consistent piece of work.

Real structure, not just bold text

We find the chapters and sections you typed as ordinary text and rebuild them as proper Word headings, with clean multi-level numbering. Because the structure is real, your contents page and lists update themselves and stay correct.

Front matter, done right

Title page, declaration, abstract, acknowledgements and list of abbreviations, each set out on its own page, with a generated table of contents and lists of figures and tables placed exactly where they belong.

Pagination and footnotes that behave

Roman numerals through the front matter, switching to Arabic at Chapter One, just as faculties require. Each chapter's footnotes restart at one and are spaced consistently, which matters most in long, footnote-heavy legal work.

Everything it handles

One pass takes care of the formatting jobs that usually eat your last week before the deadline.

Chapter and section headings

Detected, rebuilt as true headings, and numbered consistently across the document.

Title and front matter

Cover page assembled and styled, prelims each placed on their own page.

Table of contents

Generated automatically and correct, updating itself as one document.

Lists of figures and tables

Compiled from your captioned figures and tables, with page numbers.

Figure and table captions

Numbered captions applied and kept together with the object they describe.

Roman to Arabic pagination

Front matter in Roman numerals, the body in Arabic, restarting at Chapter One.

Per-chapter footnotes

Footnotes restart each chapter and keep a clean, consistent hanging layout.

Sorted bibliography

Reference list ordered alphabetically with consistent hanging indents.

And the tidying you would otherwise do by hand. Oversized tables are fitted to the page, and stray blank pages, empty headings and doubled-up page breaks are cleaned out, so the whole thesis carries one consistent house style from the cover page to the bibliography.

What comes back

A submission-ready Word document and a PDF, with the contents page and lists generated and correct. Here is the kind of contents page the formatter produces.

Illustrative example. Your contents page, lists, captions and pagination are generated from your own chapters and rebuilt to your faculty's requirements.

How it works

Four steps. You stay in control of the final submission throughout.

1

Send your thesis

Upload your Word file with your chapters and references as you have written them, and tell us your faculty or journal requirements.

2

We detect the structure

We identify your chapters, sections, front matter, figures, tables and bibliography, even where they were typed as ordinary text.

3

We build the apparatus

Contents page, lists of figures and tables, captions, pagination and per-chapter footnotes are generated and brought into one consistent house style.

4

You receive submission-ready files

Your formatted Word document and a PDF arrive ready to submit, with the contents and lists set to update themselves as one document.

Who it's for

  • Masters and doctoral candidates preparing a full thesis or dissertation for submission.
  • Students whose draft has the content but not the structure: no real contents page, inconsistent headings, mixed page numbering.
  • Anyone facing faculty formatting rules close to a deadline, from front matter and pagination to captions and per-chapter footnotes.
  • Writers in law and the humanities with long, footnote-heavy documents to pull together.

What it doesn't do

  • It does not change your argument, wording or content. It rebuilds how the document is presented, not what it says.
  • It is not a language edit. Need grammar, flow and references corrected too? That is our editing service, and we can combine the two.
  • It does not impose a rigid template over your text. Your own formatting is respected, and the structure is built around your work.

Your documents are treated as strictly confidential and are never shared.

Submission-ready, without the last-week scramble

Send us the thesis you have written and get back one consistent, properly structured document: contents page, lists, pagination and footnotes all in place. Your price is calculated automatically at checkout, based on the length of your document, with no obligation until you are ready.
