IEEE Citation Style: Thesis Formatting in Microsoft Word

IEEE citation conventions layered onto a US graduate thesis: bracketed references and centered, numbered-style headings. Thesis submissions only, never conference/journal-ready.

Review the current TypesetOS preset settings for IEEE Citation Style: Thesis, then try them on your existing DOCX.

Preset source: IEEE Editorial Style Manual for Authors / IEEE Reference Guide; heading convention corroborated by ICASSP 2025 and SLT 2026 official author-kit instructions

Limitations: Does not generate heading numerals ('I.', 'II.') or reference numbers ('[1]') — those remain the student's own text — and never produces two-column layout.
