Hi Everyone

I just finished formatting a fairly complex standard operating procedure
which was 64 pages in length. We're using the military numbering system.
Another individual was the author. There are lots of headings,
sub-headings, had to lay in heading levels in order to make the TOC
automatically generate etc.

I believe it took me nearly 14 hours in total to format it. Does this seem
like a ridiculously long time to format it? I'm wondering if other tech
writers find formatting such a time consuming part of the job?

Thanks
