I have a 500-page, text-heavy Word manuscript ready to be flowed into an existing InDesign template. The design work is complete; your task is to apply the template accurately, making only minor typographic tweaks where line breaks or spacing need a quick polish. Key details • Final output: an InDesign book/file suitable for both print and digital release (PDF and ePub export must remain clean). • Template assets: paragraph/character styles, master pages, and front-/back-matter are supplied. • Adjustments: widows/orphans, soft hyphens, and the occasional manual page break—nothing beyond the defined style guide. • Workflow: keep layer structure, style names, and page numbering intact so future revisions stay painless. • Budget: 500 pages for $100 with a $25 tip for smooth, hassle-free delivery—this rate is firm. • Timeline: let me know your realistic turnaround; prompt communication is essential. This is the first of many similar conversions, so reliability and respect for the template are more important than flashy redesigns. If you’re comfortable with long documents in InDesign and can follow an established layout without reinventing anything, I’d love to start this and future projects with you.
