I will proofread your manuscript for english usage

I usually edit .doc or .docx files in Microsoft Word, but I can also edit .ppt (PowerPoint) and .xls or .xlsx (Excel) files. Only Word will track the changes.

No, I cannot edit PDF files. However, I can return a file as a PDF. I would edit in Word and then accept all changes and convert it before returning it. I advise only requesting this after the original edits have been reviewed and determined to be acceptable.

I use the Track Changes tool in Microsoft Word, which marks every change made and allows me to leave comments when the meaning is unclear. You can then review the changes and accept or reject them. If you want, I can send you both a marked file and a file with all changes accepted.

Yes, I can edit U.S., British, or Oxford (U.K.) English spellings. The difference is in the use of -iz/-is forms and the extra u or double consonant that isn't found in American spellings. Please inform me if you have a preference, otherwise I edit for consistency within the text.

I can edit anything that is text. If the table is an embedded object, I cannot edit it. I recommend creating your tables using the Word Table tool so they can be edited. If you don't want the tables included in the word count, please let me know.

I can only edit text, not embedded objects or graphics. I can edit text boxes in Word or Powerpoint. I recommend editing the components of the figures before finalizing them into a single visual element. I do not edit created elements in Excel.

After I return the edited file, you should look it over to ensure my edits did not change the intended meaning at any point. If I left comments, you can respond in the file. In the second review, I can then review any changes you made to ensure they are grammatically correct or answer questions.
