I had to do this at my last job for a 300 page document, which had been written and updated and cut and pasted to death. I basically prayed...cursed...argued with myself...edited, re-edited and then went from there. Honestly, the best way to do it in my opinion is a section at a time. Sorry I am not much help, but I will be thinking about you! :)

Happy Friday!

After editing and assembling a large manual authored by 11 architects, contractors, and lawyers. I have now been asked to rewrite it in order to give the document **one voice.** I have done this before, but not on a document this large and not enough to have a familiar approach to accomplishing it. I know that giving a document one voice is more of an art than a quantitative method, but before I begin, I would be interested in learning what steps members took to achieve this common assignment and and/or how they approached it on their own projects.

Thanks for your consideration!

Best regards, Kirk
