Mangled WORD doc
I was wondering what the experts on this would do in this case.=20
A friend of mine was hired to "do some light editing and oh, BTW fix the = TOC and Figures, and resize graphics for a 40 page doc " on a 24 hour=20 deadline. 4 or 5 people has contributed to the doc before he got it. = When=20 the doc came it was 140 pages - the TOC was pages numbers started at one = in places, some page numbers were clearly picking up a Header 9 Style, = the=20 Appdendices need Appendix page numbers, the list of figures disappeared=20 when the table was updated and listed two figures that weren't on the=20 origianl lists. There were multiple header styles in the doc. The effort = to=20 resize .bmp graphics by copying to another program, converting to .jpg = and=20 reinserting (oh but maybe he did paste!) the image caused the file to=20 increase in size...=20 I got involved in helping and consider myself an Intermediate user.=20 1. We fixed the TOC (section breaks were starting page number one)=20 2. I started working on understanding what was going on with the figures = and discovered the issue with the figures ..... when we stopped and said, can't do this in the time frame.=20 Is the correct thing to do under those circumstances to simply strip the = doc=20 of formatting and rebuild using a known template?=20 Did copying the graphics instead of reinserting cause the file to = increase in=20 size?=20 Thanks. I'd love to have been able to fix the file......: )=20 |
