Ok, I will admit to being the only person I know who gets excited about financial reports. This is one of them. Yes, doing these sort of documents can be painful, but I relish the expanse of control I can get by use of some clever character styles.

This is my fourth year of working on Scottish Power's reports. The first year, I had to work off the inherited (shoddy) style sheets and nearly threw my computer out the window. The second year, I was allowed to build my own (superior) style sheets and have felt at peace ever since.

All long documents are not the same, and the process of populating and formatting the information will be different for each client. I work quite closely with the team over at Scottish Power to make sure that the process is as simple as possible for both sides. We use Blacklining to track our changes, and quite often I work on-site to streamline production.
