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.)
