The proofreading service offered

 

As well as checking for spelling and grammar mistakes, Niamh will also improve the style, format and language choices contained in the document, without changing the meaning of the text or the opinions and information contained therein.

 

How Niamh proofreads

 

Niamh proofreads using the track changes feature in Microsoft Word. The track changes feature ensures that all the changes are clear for you to see.

 

The track changes feature allows you to move easily between changes and accept the amendments proposed by the proofreader. Corrections, suggestions and comments are shown in the right-hand margin.

 

Once Niamh has finished proofreading your document, she will return two files to you:

• The tracked version

• The clean version

 

The tracked version will allow you to check the changes Niamh has made. The clean version is ready to print out and it will contain all the changes so you won’t have to insert all the changes yourself.

 

Instructions for sending me your documents

Please include your name and the date on which you send Niamh the documents in the file name.

As soon as Niamh receives your documents, she will contact you to confirm the date on which she will return the documents to you.
