Ongoing MS Word Formatting Expert -- 2
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I routinely handle large Word documents—research reports, manuals, and composite proposals—and I need a reliable expert who can jump in whenever fresh files arrive. Each file must leave your hands looking publication-ready while still remaining 100 % editable for my team.
Here is what I expect on every round:
• Apply or refine a clean style hierarchy: you will both add brand-new styles and adjust my existing set so all headings, body text, captions, lists, and quotes stay consistent throughout the document.
• Build an automatic table of contents that sweeps in every heading level plus separate lists for figures, tables, and appendices. Cross-references must update correctly with a single F9.
• Tame the page layout: proper section breaks, mirrored margins, correct paper size, uniform headers/footers, and front-matter number switching (i, ii, iii → 1, 2, 3) where applicable.
Turnaround is usually two to three days for files ranging from 50 to 300 pages. I keep the workflow simple: you receive the raw .docx, return the polished version, and note any style changes in the revision pane.
If Word’s advanced features—multi-level numbering, field codes, style sets—are second nature to you and you are happy to work at an affordable, repeat-engagement rate, let’s talk. Please attach a short sample or screenshot that shows before/after formatting so I can gauge your touch.
