Subject: atw: Proofreading software, and graphic conversions


Hi Guys.
 
I know nothing about proofreading electronically.  I am currently
"translating" a set of IT documents that have been beautifully written
except that the writer is clearly Asian, or the document has been auto
translated from an Asian language.  There are numerous minor errors with
plurals and syntax, that the MS spelling and grammar checker is just not
picking up.  This makes it a massive editing task if I have to do it all
manually myself.
 
Are there any utilities specifically designed to check auto translated
documents, or Asian syntax documents?
 
And while we are at it, the files are around 30mb because they are full
of bitmap graphics.  Is there any utility that can pick these up,
convert them to something less expensive and put them back?  If not,
here is a niche market for someone.
