Book Formatting in Microsoft Word
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need several manuscripts polished so they read and behave like professionally published books inside Microsoft Word. Your main focus will be advanced document formatting: reorganising all chapters into a clean, logical hierarchy and building a reliable index that updates automatically whenever pagination changes.
The files already contain the text; what they lack is consistent use of styles, accurate page-numbering, and the navigational features readers expect. Every chapter should appear correctly in Word’s Navigation Pane and each index entry must hyperlink back to the proper spot. Headers, footers, widows & orphans, and overall typography should feel uniform throughout the manuscript.
Deliverables
• One fully formatted .docx for each book, with Heading styles applied so the chapter structure is crystal clear.
• A dynamic index generated through Word’s indexing tools, verified to jump to the right pages after any edit.
Acceptance criteria: the Navigation Pane reflects the chapter layout, all index links work, and Word’s accessibility checker reports no style-related errors.
I will provide the raw Word drafts immediately; let me know your turnaround time and any similar book projects you’ve handled.
