Streamline Word Document Styles (template set up), Numbering and document basic flow
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
I have a 37-page Microsoft Word manuscript that now reads well but looks inconsistent. What I need is a clean pass focused on the paragraph styling that Word handles best when proper Styles are applied.
The work centres on six things:
1. Indentation & spacing – every paragraph must follow the same before/after spacing and first-line or hanging indent rules, with a focus on getting teh numbered sections all to perform wih the correct tabs (ie. 1, 1.1, 1.1.2, etc).
2. Alignment – body text is left-aligned; headings already stand out but should sit on the same vertical rhythm as the rest.
3. Font & text size – the typefaces already live in the file, so please leave them untouched while making sure each Style keeps its assigned font and size.
4. Page numbers – please add these in based on designed style
5. Missing Imagery when converts to PDF – there are some pages with images placed into the design (on a Mac) however, when exporting the Word doc into a PDF, the imagery goes missing (possibly only 5 - 6 pages have these treatments) – please ensure these are correctly inserted/provide advice on what is best practice and how to export (on a PC?) to ensure these are visible.
6. Change documents fonts to brand fonts – small ask is to please change the Document fonts (on a PC) to be the brand fonts (google fonts, and we have embedded these into the document already);
For numbering, I want a multilevel numeric scheme that flows automatically (1, 1.1, 1.1.2 and so on). It should restart correctly at each top-level heading and remain fully linked to its Word style and TOC so future edits/additions renumber themselves.
No content edits are required; this is purely layout and functionality. When you return the file, everything should be driven by Word Styles—not manual formatting—so the document stays robust if I add or delete sections later.
Please update the TOC to match the styling as well, and ensure the pages numbers are correct, styling, font, colour, size all match the document.
Deliverable: the updated .docx with consistent styles and functioning hierarchical numbering, ready for print or PDF export.
