        PORTFOLIO: EDITING          
 

    I can provide lower level editing such as: simple formatting; proofreading at the word level; and checking for grammar, punctuation, and usage at the sentence level.  
                     
        I can also provide higher level editing such as: improving writing style for consistency; evaluating content to ensure that information follows a logical order and supports the purpose of the document; and developing new content. You'll need the Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader (download free) to view these documents.  
                     
        COPYMARKING          
 

 

    I used standard copymarking symbols to edit a hardcopy manuscript and also used on-screen markup to produce an online version. These documents were developed in Microsoft Word 2000; both Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat allow on-screen markup.  
                     
        See manuscript (PDF 43 kB). This project also involved audience analysis (PDF 23 kB) and developing a style sheet (PDF 25 kB).  
  "This is an outstanding style sheet, both visually and in content. I'd like to use this as a model. I could certainly use this in my work."

                 
      STYLE SHEET          
      A style sheet is a useful tool that codifies the conventions of grammar, usage, spelling, and punctuation to ensure that documentation within a company (or department or group) is consistent from document to document, especially when there may be several writers.

      I developed this style sheet based on analyzing several similar documents. This document was developed in Microsoft Word 2000.  
                   
      See style sheet (PDF 52 kB).
