Custom Templates, Macros & Processes
KDL Graphics Corporate Proposal Services consultants can:

  • Develop custom graphic and text templates to fit a single activity or an entire development process. We create various styles as needed for headings and body text per RFP requirements and create custom toolbars (text & table) for the purpose of easy access.
  • Create custom macros to perform routine to advanced functions on text documents…from importing and positioning graphics & tables to be placed in frames without manually breaking paragraphs, to inserting appropriate section breaks to incorporate foldouts. These macros are placed on custom toolbars for easy access, which allows the team to perform in an expedited and efficient manner, no matter if they are a novice or a seasoned professional.
  • Create instructions that outline, step-by-step, the procedures that would be used throughout the formatting process, from the soft edit process, to formatting text in final documents, to embedding graphics.
  • Support needs of Proposal Coordinators and perform project setup duties (i.e. create directories based on Job Number, Job ID and file naming conventions.)
  • Inform other graphic designers, desktop publishers and coordinators of updates by the use of “Daily Status” reports.
  • Perform daily backups and QA procedures to ensure consistent formatting and a consistent look and feel of all graphics and text documents.
  • Prepare final electronic documents and complete other closeout procedures as necessary (i.e. strip text documents of all macros and templates, and create 4-up graphic sheets for proposal library.)
