The SLU University Library provides this thesis template that you can use in Word writing your thesis.
The function of a template is to facilitate your writing. Because it already has specific styles, you will not have to spend time on making the text look a certain way. Some of the styles will automatically be chosen while you write, and others you will have to choose by yourself. You will find further instructions on how to use it in the template.
