I've been formatting large reports since 1992, when I worked on the ESD series for the Department of Primary Industries and Energy. Since then I've formatted multi-volume reports for the HIH Insurance Inquiry, Oil-for-Food Inquiry, HMAS Sydney Inquiry and the Canberra Bushfires Coroner's Inquiry, among many others. I've also formatted smaller reports for a number of government departments.
During this time I also spent 20 years working for Conference Logistics, preparing abstract handbooks and conference proceedings. This involved taking hundreds of abstracts (or papers) and formatting them all consistently in one print-ready document.
I format documents in Microsoft Word to print-ready copy. If you have a submission you wanted formatted, a newsletter or periodical publication that needs tidying up, a brand design that needs to be translated to a Word template, or a report that needs to be formatted consistently—I can do all of these, and more, at a cost considerably less than a graphic designer.
I charge an hourly rate for formatting reports. Contact me for a quote.
