Proofreading

• Text is read for typographical and formatting errors - spelling, grammar, word usage, punctuation, page numbering, use of capitals and font sizes.

• Most useful when your document is nearly complete/ready for publication.

• An important step in website development.

Editing

• An extensive word-by-word review which includes all elements of proofreading as well as full comment on consistency, structure and style.

• Particularly useful when your document has taken a long time to develop or when several authors are involved.

Research and Writing

• The Leaning Dictionary will work to your instructions, carrying out research and providing material in the format you need, or writing from scratch according to your brief.

Indexing

• Hierarchical manual indexing, focused on context and relevance.

• A key to making your large document useable.
