ABSTRACT: The present study aims to introduce a series of procedures toward preparing any scientific text using MS Word software. Some journals and academic centers, based on their scientific domain, have their own styles and formatting. One of the challenges that authors may encounter while preparing any research report is to apply those formatting style to their thesis document file. At first, the paper provides some information about styles and then some information about the author's needs and problems during preparing any research report text. Finally, some new procedures are presented which enable authors to satisfy all formatting styles components within document files. We called the procedures thesis preparing algorithm. This algorithm renders some technical procedures which should be followed according to their order to achieve a desired output for thesis preparing procedures. This algorithm is based on three features: familiarity with software's tools and their functions, the order of processes, and special techniques. We believe using this algorithm, authors will gain a better performance in preparing any dissertation and research reports.
