Practical workflow
Separate content, structure and proofing decisions so a late correction does not undo earlier work.
Every price, unit, tax statement, product code and effective date needs verification from the current commercial source. Start by listing the fields a reader must compare or verify. Use a real table when rows and columns express relationships; use labelled text blocks when the information is short or irregular. A table chosen only to force alignment can make reading order and later editing harder.
Create headings, labels, units and value positions before entering all records. Keep comparable fields in the same order. Use table header cells for genuine data tables and avoid blank rows as visual spacing. For price lists, the repeated pattern should make missing or unusually long values visible during review.
Do not retype approved figures merely to fit a design. Keep a source list beside the publication and mark transformations such as shortened units or rounded values. After a font or column change, inspect row wrapping and confirm that every value still belongs to the correct label. This matters especially when title and effective date, category headings, item or service names, unit, option and price and tax, validity and contact notes share a compact page.
Keep the issue date prominent, update from an approved source and archive superseded lists so old prices are not reused. Add an effective date, issue reference or version where stale data would mislead. A second reviewer should compare the final output against the source, reading down columns and then across rows. That different review order catches associations that an ordinary visual proof can miss.
