Document and file format

The following table provides an overview of our correction process with specific document and file formats:

		Track changes		Hints and comments
*.doc(x)	Microsoft Word We edit *. docx- and *.doc documents in Microsoft Word using the "track changes" and comment features. Information on the "track changes" function
*.odt	OpenOffice / LibreOffice We edit *.odt documents in OpenOffice using the modification mode. Our changes and comments are accessible in both Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.
*.rtf	Rich-Text-Format We edit *.rtf-documents in OpenOffice using the modification mode to ensure that the original formatting of the documents remains untouched.
*.pages	Apple Pages We edit *.pages documents in Apple Pages with activated change log to ensure that the original formatting of the document remains undisturbed.
*.txt	Text file We edit * .txt documents in Microsoft Word and save them in the .docx format. This ensures that the document can be opened in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice with our track changes in tact. The file can later be exported as a text file.
*.tex	LaTeX We edit your LaTeX documents, using Microsoft Word, at our regular prices. Once we’re finished editing, we will copy the edited text back into the *.tex-file. You will, then, receive two files A fully edited *.tex-file, The corresponding Microsoft Word file where the actual editing has been done, so that you can track the corrections and suggestions Alternatively, we edit *.tex files directly in the source document, using the freely available LaTeX "TrackChanges" package, so that the changes and comments are highlighted. As this is quite extensive work, this option will require a 50% surcharge. Information on the correction of LaTeX documents using “TrackChanges”
