Description
Experience Level: Expert
I need formatting and technical cleanup only for the second half of a novel manuscript in Microsoft Word (Mac). The book was originally published and professionally proofread by Black Swan (a major publisher) in the 1990s. I do NOT need copy-editing, proofreading, or any text changes. What I need: Remove yellow highlight blobs while preserving text
Remove grey bands at the bottom of pages (often blocking page numbers)
Delete unwanted blank pages and mysterious formatting lines
Fix general OCR mess (extra spaces, broken paragraphs, inconsistent styles)
Apply consistent formatting to match the first 200 pages I’ve already cleaned (styles, headings, indentation, spacing, etc.)
Use proper Word Styles
Important:
This is a pure formatting / document cleanup job only. Please do not apply if you mainly offer proofreading or copy-editing. I will provide clear sample pages (messy + cleaned version) so you can see exactly what is required. Quote for the remaining ~120 pages and your rate for a small test job on 10–20 pages first.
