Legal and policy books usually run into problems when the formatting system isn’t set up properly from the start. Once numbering, headings, and footnotes aren’t structured, things get messy fast in large manuscripts. I build InDesign systems specifically for this kind of long-form legal content, so the file stays organized and stable even at 300–500+ pages. I can set up your full Legal Book System including paragraph styles, automatic numbering, GREP styling, master pages, and KDP-ready export. What you’ll get: ✔ Clean paragraph style structure ✔ Multi-level legal numbering ✔ Running headers and master pages ✔ Footnotes, citations, and tables ✔ GREP for repeated patterns ✔ Print + EPUB export setup ✔ Organized InDesign file setup The goal is simple: you should be able to drop in a long Word file and not fight the formatting every time you make a change.
