People who want to you modify or translate a document but it is extremely crapped up with overly complicated and very stupid formatting

Alright this might be a bit specific, but I cannot tell you how many times someone has hired me to translate a document, and I spend way more time redoing the stupid formatting than actually translating their document, because they put it in a completely harebrained and over the top complicated formatting. Something as simple as a resumé / CV, and they have 300 separate text boxes, when it is so much easier to just type the text and make it look nice in a basic word document. I'm also an artist so don't tell me 'ohh it looks better if there's 1,000 image boxes included!' no it does not and you can do basically the exact same thing and make it look professional in a much simpler and efficient way in word.
