Word Document Editing Services

Need a Microsoft Word document corrected, updated or cleaned up? Our editors work directly in your DOCX file — fixing text, styles, tables and layout — so you get back a document that is consistent and easy to keep editing.

We work with Word files from Microsoft 365, older DOC files and Google Docs exported to Word, for individuals and businesses in the USA, UK and worldwide.

What we can do

Correct typos, wording and inconsistent terms you point out
Fix broken numbering, bullet lists and heading styles
Repair tables that split, overflow or lose their borders
Clean up pasted text: mixed fonts, stray spaces and manual line breaks
Update headers, footers, page numbers and section breaks
Insert or replace images, logos and captions you supply
Add or update a table of contents and cross-references
Turn tracked changes and comments into a clean final version on your instruction

How it works

Send the file and your changes. Mark them in the document, add comments, or write a list.
We review the document. We check styles, tables, length and any template rules.
You get a quote. Price and delivery time are confirmed before we start.
We edit and check. Every change is checked against your list, and the layout around it is reviewed.
You receive Word and PDF. Agreed revisions are included.

Word documents we edit

Everyday documents that need to look right and stay easy to update.

Reports and proposals

Long documents with headings, tables, charts and appendices.

Policies and procedures

Numbered clauses, cross-references and version updates.

Templates

Letterheads, forms and company templates that other people will reuse.

Manuals and guides

Step lists, screenshots and consistent captions.

Letters and contracts you own

Updated details, clean numbering and consistent defined terms.

Books and booklets

Chapter styles, page breaks and front matter.

What affects the price and delivery time

The quote depends on:

Number of pages
How many changes, and how scattered they are
Tables, images and complex layouts
Whether the document follows a strict template
Track Changes or clean final version
Your deadline

Small edits are often ready within a day; larger documents are scheduled with you.

Editing in Word or in PDF?

If you still have the Word file, editing it is faster and cheaper than editing a PDF, and the result stays fully editable. If you only have a PDF, see PDF editing or PDF to Word conversion.

Frequently asked questions

Will you change my writing?

Only where you ask. We make the edits you list. If you want proofreading for spelling and grammar, tell us and we will include it in the quote.

Can you work with tracked changes?

Yes. We can make edits with Track Changes switched on so you can review them, or deliver a clean final version.

Can you fix a document that keeps breaking its layout?

Usually, yes. Most layout problems come from manual formatting. We rebuild the affected parts on proper Word styles so they stop breaking.

How much does Word document editing cost?

It depends on the number of pages and the changes. Send the file for a free quote; the price is confirmed before we start.

How long does it take?

Small edits are often ready within a day. Larger documents are scheduled with you, and the delivery time is in your quote.
