After placing your order for Interior Formatting, but before moving onto the design phase, your project will reviewed by one of our preflight specialists. During this process, your design survey, manuscript and image files go through a rigorous and detailed inspection to ensure they are ready to be passed on to our design team.
The following is a list of the most common reasons why a project is delayed and how to address them. (Note: for many of these fixes, you will need to turn on Invisible Characters in Word. You can find instructions for that here.)
