Hi Jamie,
Yes, this makes perfect sense. The only designation that we can make is, as
I said before to enlarge and bold the name of the character beginning each
chapter. Thank goodness that is present, or we'd have to insert something
else.
I've had books that had absolutely no chapter headings at all, just white
space. And what I had to do was insert three asterisks to denote the white
space as usual, and then enlarge and bold the asterisks. It was all I could
do to help the reader have some navigation.
But this should work just fine, enlarging and bolding the name that begins
each chapter of the book.
I know it'd look neat and be really easy if the font and color changed for
sighted readers, but we just can't do that.
Sorry!
Thanks for the thorough explanation!
Mayrie

Ok, it's like this (I typed this morning after I'd been up all night and
then this evening when I just got up so maybe neither of my explanations was
any good!)
Instead of Chapter 1 it says DAY
then the whole chapter is in gold and like an Arial font.
Then instead of Chapter 2 it says JUNE and the whole chapter is in black and
like a Times font.
And it flips back and forth throughout the whole book that way. Day, (gold)
then June (black) then Day (gold) then June (black).
There really aren't any "chapter headings" because the chapters, IMO, are
designated by the color and font.
Kind of puts a crimp in the restrictive rules Bookshare has for using only
one font.
And you can't just say ok June will be italics and Day will be regular,
because italics are used in the book in some places.
Does that make more sense now that I've woken up properly and had a good hot
meal? smile
