Format Manual Book in Word
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a draft manual that now needs professional‐grade formatting inside Microsoft Word. The content is complete, but the presentation still looks rough. Here’s what I need done:
• Refine overall text alignment and spacing so paragraphs, headings, and bullet points read cleanly on every page.
• Insert the images and diagrams I will supply, positioning them intuitively with tight text wrap and consistent caption styling.
• Build an automated table of contents and a back-of-book index so future edits update themselves with one click.
All work must follow my existing company branding guidelines—fonts, heading hierarchy, colour palette, and margin specifications are already defined and will be shared in a style sheet. Please keep everything native to Word (no external layout tools) and rely on built-in features such as Styles, TOC, and Index fields rather than manual formatting, so the file stays fully editable.
When you return the file, I’ll review it against the style guide and check that the TOC and index regenerate correctly. If those tests pass and the visuals look balanced, the job is complete. I need to have it ready to print.
