I need an Adobe InDesign expert to join me via screen share to finalize a book’s paragraph/character styles, master pages, and text flow so imported manuscript text auto-formats correctly. I’ve already built a structured Adobe InDesign book file with master pages, text frames, guides, layers (Text, Photography, Background), and a partial paragraph style system (Front Matter, Chapter Titles, Body, Drop Caps, End Matter). I need an experienced InDesign specialist to work with me live via screen share to audit, clean, and finalize the paragraph and character style hierarchy, resolve any inheritance or override issues, confirm proper “Next Style” automation, and ensure drop caps, chapter openers, and body text flow correctly. The goal is a locked, production-ready style sheet so I can import the full manuscript and apply styles once to populate the entire book consistently. Your expertise will ensure the imported manuscript text auto-formats correctly.
