While printing images or other texts using word, you cannot have the image extented to the full length of the page.
To avaoid this, we can use the custom margins option under layoutto adjust the margin width, which reduces these gaps.
The standard settings like narrow moderate can also be used, while for maximum coverage of the page, we have to use the custom margins and then edit for the length, height, etc.

During the event various scholars, professors, industrial experts and students across India share their research experience and get to know each other. The event focusses mainly on students and scholars below the age of 35.x It is a wonderful platform to advance your skills, get to know about research topics, explore newer tech. The event has merits by its own ways and being a part of it, is itself a great credit to oneself.
Here are some of my experiences of participating in chemcon 2019.
The first updates are rolled out in the month of February in their official website. Keep looking for updates regularly and try ton stick to the deadline. Keep you abstract ready to update in easychair or sometimes in their page it self. You can refer to my posts on creating and handling your easy chair account from below.
Easy chair is a EasyChair is a free web-based conference management software system used, among other tasks, to organise paper submission and review. EasyChair is widely used, since 2002, in the scientific community, with reportedly more than two and a half million users in 2019. Make sure to have an account in it.
The selection of abstract is intimated by the end of august. They usually dont send a mail to tell you that you are not selected. But you can very well contact them to get more info by phone, as they dont respond well through mail. They decide- if you have to present your abstract as a paper or as a poster. They also roll out the designs for both of them. Generally, this is how it looks, you can modify a bit and deviate from the prescribed design while making the poster, but its not the case for paper presentation(for which I participated). The paper has to strictly adhere to their prescribed conditions.
The 16th edition of Schemcon in 2019 was organised in STRICT-Ankleshwar, and was attended by about 300 students all around the country. There were about 100 paper presenrtations and 40 posters. Prizes are awarded for the best paper in each session and best poster in this conference. There were also plenary lectures by top subject and matter experts with loads of information. The event occurs for 2-3 days with time for exploring the place.
Be well prepared with your presentation or posters as the people attending will have a lot of questions about it. You will have pay for the accommodation and registration separately, food is complimentary. We also got to the visit the Statue of Unity, the Worlds Largest Statue and also visited the UPL factory in ankleshwar as part of the event. We took the navjeevan express to reach ankleshwar, which is a 20 hour journey from chennai(where I live). The college is about 20 kms from the main station of ankleshwar in a place called Vataria. It was a great experience to travel through the dark and deserted roads in the night. One can also experience the greatness of the river Narmada and also the temples on its shore in Ankleshwar. We also got to taste the Great delicacies like chat items and also the gujarati thali. The place was famous for black metal jewellary and also for groundnuts.
It was an awesome experience and one should never miss a chance to attend these kind of conferences where we have both fun and knowledge gain.

Here are some of my experiences of participating in chemcon 2019.
The first updates are rolled out in the month of september in their official website. Keep looking for updates regularly and try ton stick to the deadlone. Keep you abstract ready to update in the page. They usually have their own format it looked this way when I participated in 2019.
It takes about 2 months for them to reply back as to whether your abstract has been selected. They usually dont send a mail to tell you that you are not selected. But you can very well contact them to get more info by phone, as they dont respond well through mail. They decide- if you have to present your abstract as a paper or as a poster. They also roll out the designs for both of them but tooo lately, only a week before the actual event. Generally, this is how it looks, you can modify a bit and deviate from the prescribed design while making the poster(for which I participated), but its not the case for paper presentation. The paper has to strictly adhereto their prescribed conditions. You can very well use this design when you design a poster, not just for chemcon but anywhere.
The 72nd edition of chemcon on 2019 was organised by IIT delhi, and was attended by about 700 delegates all around the world. There were about 300 paper presenrtations and 40 posters(Tougher to get into). Prizes are not awarded in this conference. There were many plenary lectures by top subject and matter experts with loads of information. The event occurs for 4-5 days with a fully packed schedule.
Be well prepared with your presentation or posters as the people attending will have a lot of questions about it. There are certain things to remember, as its a conference of higher order, they give certificate of presentation to only one of the person in the team. You can raise a request prior to the conference and confirm about this. But you will get a participation ceritificate. You will have pay for the accommodation and registration separately, food is complimentary.
We took the Garib Rath express to reach Delhi’s HH Nizammudin stn, which is a 28 hour journey from chennai (where I live). The college is about 6 kms from the station in a place called Hauz Khaz. The city of Delhi is soo great with lots of places to visit and explore. The Red fort, lotus temple, Qutb Minar, India Gate, National War memorial, Akshardam, The central scretariat, Rashtrapathi Bhavan, the crowded markets of Sarojini nagar, chandhini Chowk, chatta chowk are awesome. Agra is just at 2 hours drive from Delhi, where the beautiful Taj stands.
One can also experience the greatness of the Mughal empire and the rich Indian culture in Delhi. We also got to taste the Great delicacies like Akbari dishes and also the Chola Batura. The place was famous for shawls and jewellary, and what not.
It was an awesome experience and one should never miss a chance to attend these kind of conferences where we have both fun and knowledge gain.
The formating option of the page numbers are not sooo easy in word, you can insert them with ease though.
In certain journals for publication of the articles, they require the first page to have the number in middle and following that then even pages on the left and odd page numbers on the right.
That can be done in the MS word by the following steps:
Goto Insert > Page Numbers > select the position your page number to be (bottom or top and the font and alignment)
Once the numbers are inserted, they are put either in the Header or the Footer based on your selection. Then to align them, you have to go to the header and footer menu. If its open, well and good, else double click on the page number.
The header and footer ribbon opens. Here check the “Different first page ” and “Different Odd & Even pages” boxes.
Now to shift the page number to the right corner, Bring the cursor before the number and press “tab” key from the keyboard. Now to shift the page number to the left corner, Bring the cursor before the number and press “backspace” key from the keyboard.
There is a lot of shortcuts key that you can use in MS Office in common, like;
Ctrl + A -> Select all
Ctrl + B -> Bold the selected text
Ctrl + C -> Copy the selected text
Ctrl + I -> Italize the selected text
Ctrl + S -> Save the document or presentation…
Ctrl + U -> Underline the selected text
Ctrl + V -> Paste the selected text
Ctrl + X -> Cut the selected text
Ctrl + Z -> This is the best one …. i think…. UNDO!
Ctrl + shift + > -> increase size of text
Ctrl + shift + < -> decrease size of text
Also to put a letter or text to subsrcipt:
Type it -> select it -> then press Ctrl + = (or) just press Ctrl + = and type the text, then re press the same think to get the things back to normal.
and to put it in as superscript:
do the same except press Ctrl + shift + =
Or you could very well use the Subscript(black box) and superscript(orange box) buutons in word.
Basically Microsoft store does not allow you to unistall or disown your app, that you installed. You cannot find it in the programs section of the control panel nor in the microsoft store .
You can only uninstall it either in the apps section from the settings menu in windows 8 and above.
It can also be directly from the start menu, the app is pinned to it by just right clicking it and clicking on uninstall.
There are plenty a lot og features in MS word, but are not known to many and is often confusing. In my experience of using Word, here what I found out!
The most basic thing is to save your work, at least once in 5 minutes. Though there is an auto save option, always expect the unexpected the unexpected.
There is this Auto Recovery option in word, Which saves your work every 10 minutes and can be recovered in case of sudden a crash or battery loss… It generally pops up to the left side in the word document the next time you open it.
But, if this does not come up you can very well recover your file by going to File > Options > Save > AutoRecover file location.
You can go to this destination to access your file! You could also change the auto recovery time period too (the red box above)!
