It covers

How can your company ensure that:
• authors can focus on the content, rather than formatting & styling?
• document quality specialists can:
  -lessen the risk associated with manual processes?
  -reduce the time spent on documents quality check?

How can authors:
• ensure that their documents meet the technical specification requirements?
• ensure that section numbering is sequential, headings are used appropriately, tables are formatted correctly, approved fonts are used?
• use custom styles versus templates?
• troubleshoot tricky formatting?
• organize documents more efficiently?
• create a Word document that will produce a PDF file that is over 95% compliant?

How can quality managers easily check and fix:
• bookmarks and hyperlinks and external weblinks?
• page layout and margins in every section?
• hidden parts and instructions?
• placeholders and special formatting (e.g., blue text)?

Well organized and consistently formatted documents are the key to creating submissions that are easy to read and review.
Prior to submission, organizations spend a significant amount of time making sure that these and other aspects of their content are in order.

Even though it is impossible to completely eliminate manual steps, cutting them down can speed up your process and lower the risk of human error. Many of the checks and fixes that are currently done manually, both for your original source Word content and for your submission-ready PDFs, can be fully automated.
