Messy Word document cleaned up: styles, headings and table of contents

Example result

Example for the Standard package

PDF to Word: a 22-page rental agreement rebuilt as an editable document

Before (text as copied out of the PDF)

4.2 The Tenant shall pay the Rent monthly in ad- vance on or before the 1st day of each calen- dar month by bank transfer to the account Residential Lease Agreement v3 Page 6 of 22 stated in Schedule 2. 4.3 If any Rent remains unpaid 14 days af- ter the due date the Landlord may charge interest

After (in the Word document)

4. Rent and Payment (Heading 2)

4.2 The Tenant shall pay the Rent monthly in advance on or before the 1st day of each calendar month by bank transfer to the account stated in Schedule 2.

4.3 If any Rent remains unpaid 14 days after the due date, the Landlord may charge interest at the rate set out in Schedule 2.

Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 are real Word numbered list items, so adding a clause 4.2a renumbers everything after it on its own.

Tables

The rent schedule was split across pages 21 and 22 in the PDF. It is now one Word table with a repeating header row:

ItemAmountDue
Monthly rent[amount]1st of each month
Security deposit[amount]On signing
Late payment interest3% above base rateAfter 14 days
Key replacement[amount]On request

What was done

  • Text: all 22 pages transferred word for word, 6,840 words
  • Headings: 12 section titles set as Heading 2; the document title as Heading 1, so the Navigation pane works
  • Numbering: 94 clauses rebuilt as a multi-level list (1, 1.1, 1.1.1)
  • Clean-up: 22 page footers and 214 broken line ends removed; 38 hyphenated words rejoined
  • Signature block: rebuilt as a two-column table for Landlord and Tenant

What was left out

  • The scanned logo on page 1 (as you asked)
  • The decorative border around page 1
  • Exact fonts: the document uses Calibri 11 throughout

Checked: clause count matches the PDF (94 of 94) and no paragraph is missing between pages.

Client: a small property manager with 14 flats Input: "Residential Lease Agreement v3.pdf", 22 pages, exported from an old template; the original Word file was lost Client's instructions: keep clause numbering exactly, keep the rent schedule table, drop the footer "Page X of 22" and the scanned logo

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Documents passed around an office for years end up with headings made by hand in bold, numbering typed in as text, five fonts, manual line breaks in the middle of paragraphs and a table of contents that no longer updates. Send the Word file, or a PDF with selectable text, and we rebuild it word for word with real Heading styles in a clear hierarchy, one body style, true numbered and bulleted lists and tidied tables. Because the headings use built-in styles, the navigation pane works and Word's built-in table of contents can be inserted in two clicks, and we show you where.

What is included

  • What you getA clean Word file with real heading styles, one body style, true lists and tidy tables, the same as a PDF, a note on what was changed or left out, such as images or text boxes, and steps to insert Word's built-in table of contents. The wording stays exactly as it was.
  • Real heading stylesA clear hierarchy you can navigate
  • One body styleNo stray fonts or sizes
  • True listsNumbering and bullets that renumber
  • Clean paragraphsNo manual line breaks or empty lines
  • Table of contents readySteps to insert Word's built-in one

What we need from you

The document as a Word (.docx) file or a PDF with selectable text (up to 3 files), how many heading levels it should have, the numbering style you follow (for example 1.1.1) and what the document is used for.

We will ask you:

  • How many heading levels should the document have?
  • Which numbering style should headings and lists use?
  • Which heading levels should the table of contents show?
  • What is the document used for?

Questions and answers

Will my company template be applied?

We use Word's built-in heading and body styles. Apply your company template or theme in Word afterwards, and because the document uses built-in styles, it takes on the template's fonts and colours.

Will my images and text boxes stay?

No. Images are not carried over, and text in text boxes becomes normal paragraphs. The note lists where each image was so you can put it back.

Will I see the changes as tracked changes?

No, the Word file comes back clean, without track changes. A short note lists what was changed or left out.
