I will retype and edit the manual you supply so that it is expressed in correct English. The manual will be divided into sections as per your instructions - I will use each X to get the section number. In the word file I will enter the section number and then proof read the section and re-type it with proper English, grammar and punctuation. My bid is for $5 per page. I am a highly experienced writer, editor and proofreader with 20+ years experience in preparing texts for publication. I am also a very experienced high school English teacher (currently on leave) and a native English speaker. I am honest and hardworking. Regards, Arlene Lewis
