Re-type a manuscript: ZAMBEZI
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Job is to retype a ~65,000 word manuscript about an action environmental journey down the Zambezi River in Africa. The manuscript is in PDF form but the paging and paragraph indentation from the scan are not correct, with scan marks left on the PDF and some lines not double-spaced. Very occasionally, the scan misses correct spelling, making for instance, "milk" as mllk".
I need a clean re-type IN "MAC FOR WORD" FORMAT, NONE OTHER WILL DO, so I can edit it.
DIRECTIONS:
YOU MUST USE "MS WORD FOR MAC." DON'T REPLY IF YOU CANNOT. YOU WILL NOT BE PAID.
DO NOT CHANGE SPELLING, BUT DO SPELL CHECK FOR YOUR OWN MISTAKES. Be careful with African words.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO RE-NEGOTIATE THE BID/DEAL.
NORMAL FORMAT MUST BE FOLLOWED:
Font: Your font should be 12 point Times New Roman, ONLY
Margins: Your pages should include one-inch margins on all sides (so your top, bottom, left, and right margins should all be uniform). These should be the default margins in MS Word.
.Indentations: For the first line of a new paragraph, you should indent a half-inch. For most word processors, you can do this by hitting the tab key once.
Line spacing: All lines should be double spaced.
Alignment: Your words should be aligned on the left-hand side of your page, but not justified. The right-hand side of your page will not be uniform.
Page numbers: Page numbers begin with the number one and are numbered continuously, beginning with the first new page after the title page. Pages in the front matter, such as the table of contents, copyright page, or ISBN info are numbered with Roman numerals.
--put page numbers middle of bottom page. DO NOT NUMBER BLANK PAGES.
Sentence separation: Use one space between sentences after a period. Though many people instinctively hit the space bar twice to put two spaces between sentences, this is not the correct practice.
Ending: To indicate the end of the manuscript, write the word “END” and center it after the last line.
Page size: You should use the standard page size of 8.5 by 11 inches.
TO REPEAT, Make sure it is in Word for Mac so I can continue to work on it.
Please EMAIL me the first 10 pages and I can quickly see if all is good.
I have a number of projects going, and if this works out I’d love be able to continue using your services.
A SAMPLE FROM THE INTRODUCTION NOT BY ME:
It was Valentine’s Day when I first saw the river; it was love at first sight. Along with a party of tour operators, I had been shuttled between game parks and hotel lobbies for days, all leading up to this: Victoria Falls. While the other occupants of the Land Rover pressed for a glimpse of the great falls upstream, I looked the other way, out of habit. Some 350 feet below the bridge we were driving over, a mighty river coiled and cursed through a dark basalt gorge. I could see two rapids interrupting the otherwise peaceful stretch, between the hairpin curves that
