The Challenge: Limitations of Manual Formatting
At DDi, we know that technical formatting delays submissions just as much as scientific review.
A document may have flawless data, but incorrect bookmarks or margins can still trigger agency
rejection.
Time-Intensive Work
Adjusting fonts, margins, headers, and footers across hundreds of pages eats into critical submission time that writers should spend on content.
Inconsistent Styles
Multiple authors collaborating on a single document often leads to broken styles, mismatched fonts, and irregular paragraph spacing.
Complex Guidelines
Adhering to strict corporate templates, along with global ICH and eCTD formatting requirements manually, is difficult and heavily error-prone.
Broken Cross-References
vUpdating tables of contents, lists of figures, and internal hyperlinks manually often results in broken or incorrect navigation.
Our Solution:

and regulatory style guides to your Word documents. From generating accurate Tables of Contents to standardizing table layouts and fixing
broken links, the platform ensures technical compliance without the
manual hassle.
