This video tutorial contains several parts:

1) For students who have their research completed, but are having trouble organizing the paper, there are several helpful templates that can be downloaded for free from Microsoft. These templates include book reports, MLA and APA citations, theses, and term papers. The templates are already formatted and some are as easy as filling in the blank.

2) For students who need to get some research, this part shows how to get information from links, books, and sites quickly.

3) Once the paper is being completed, the student can use the built in thesaurus and dictionally to find the proper words when writing. This section also shows the readability statistics (grade level) and spelling and grammar options. 

4) Finally, after spending all night finishing the paper, proofreading can be difficult. A program called TypeIt ReadIt can read the text to the student. This allows the student to listen for mistakes and to quickly make changes.

TypeIt ReadIt is a free text to speech (tts) program and can be downloaded here.
