Seeking Microsoft Word expert for one-time document corruption repair (paid)

I’m looking to hire someone with deep Microsoft Word experience to repair and stabilize a single corrupted document. This is not basic formatting — it involves complex styles, sections, numbering, and internal document structure. I’ve already tried standard repair steps. This would be a one-time, paid, hands-on document repair project (not training and not general IT support). If you’ve done this kind of work before, or know someone who has, I’d appreciate hearing from you. You’re welcome to reply here or send me a private message.

How to see the number on the ruler margin?

In Word 2016 in the faded zone of the ruler I still could see the number. Now in Word 2024 I cannot. Any possible fixes/workarounds?

Need 100% Pixel Match for Segoe Print - Word Justification/Kerning Issue (Deadline: 2 Days)

I am recreating an image with 1,212 words in MS Word. I am at 99% accuracy, but I have "Character Drift." Specific letters (e, a, i, o, t) are taking up different pixel widths than the original.

My Settings:

Font: Segoe Print, 12pt, Bold.

Advanced: Scale 90%, Spacing Expanded 0.1pt.

Paragraph: Justified, Line Spacing Exactly 19pt.

Page: Custom 12"x15".

The Problem: Kerning (set to 1pt) isn't fixing the tiny gaps. Some lines end a few pixels too early or late. Is there a hidden "Micro-Justification" or "Printer Metrics" setting to force a 1:1 match?

Extra space issue - help needed

hello! I'm not sure if this is the right sub to ask for help, but I am in a rush. pictured below is my issue.

in the table of contents, only one picture (aka "Slika") has an added space between the word and the number. though the extra space is not shown with the "hidden symbols." This is only for this one picture. I have checked the formatting, and it is identical to all other pictures. Do you have any idea what is going on?

How to stop "Character Drift" in Justified Segoe Print? (Word)

I am matching a 1,212-word image. My settings: Segoe Print 12pt, Scale 90%, Spacing Expanded 0.1pt, Line Spacing Exactly 19pt.

The text matches 99%, but individual characters (e, a, i, o) are drifting by 2–3 pixels. Kerning is set to 1pt but isn't fixing it. Is there a way to force Word to use a more precise justification engine or "Micro-Justify" the gaps?

How to retain formatting when copy-pasting from chatGPT?

edit title: How to retain bullet formatting when copy-pasting from chatGPT?

Hi,

I have an issue with a particular MS Word file, where it would not retain the bullet formatting from chatGPT. And it seems that it only affect this particular file, because when I paste the similar text to another file, it retains the bullet formatting.

I tried Ctrl+Shift+V, but it seems to only copy the markdown (?) (with the asterisk), but not the bullet formatting.

I'm worried the issue might have because I played around with the 'Clear Formatting' button? But it seems the bolding still retained, so I'm not too sure on that.

Additional issue on the former is I am not able to directly add the bullet point using 'bullets' button - only works if I write asterisk, then it auto-adds the bullet, then I can highlight the next rows add create the bulleted points.

Even pasting here having no issue (extracts of it):

IAS 7 – Indirect Method (Mind Map)

Starting point

  • operating profit → reconcile to cash from operating (before tax)

Adjustments

  1. Non-cash items
  • depreciation
  • amortisation
  • gain/loss on disposal

Edit: tried closing and reopening the file, still having similar issue.

Thanks in advance!

Pasted on another file without issue

Pasted on the MS Word with issue. Bullet formatting not retained

Original text from chatGPT

edit: tried right click + Keep source formatting (to paste), still does not retain bullets

No bullets with 'Keep source formatting'

edit: tried copy pasting the whole text into new Word doc. Still facing similar issue when pasting new text with bullets (no bullets when pasted)
