Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point. When you click Online Video, you can paste in the embed code for the video you want to add. You can also type a keyword to search online for the video that best fits your document.\\
To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and text box designs that complement each other. For example, you can add a matching cover page, header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.\\
Themes and styles also help keep your document coordinated. When you click Design and choose a new Theme, the pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics change to match your new theme. When you apply styles, your headings change to match the new theme.\\
Save time in Word with new buttons that show up where you need them. To change the way a picture fits in your document, click it and a button for layout options appears next to it. When you work on a table, click where you want to add a row or a column, and then click the plus sign.

\section{Scope of Work}
There are five chapters in this project. Below is a description of each chapter's focus:
The thesis, problem statement, and work's purpose are introduced in Chapter one. The second Chapter discusses the literature review, which is a discussion and evaluation of prior works, studies, and theories relevant to the project. The literature review gives context for this work and specifies its direction. The methods for conducting research are covered in Chapter three. It provides a thorough explanation of the methodology employed to carry out this project. The findings and discussions from this research are presented in chapter four. The work's conclusion and recommendations are included in Chapter five.
\textbf{NB: Can be done per your perefence}
