Kim,
Here is what I do, and what was confirmed by Carrie yesterday.
Title of book 20 pt
title of parts 18 pt
title of chapters 16 pt
title of sections within chapters 14 pt
According to Carrie, there can only be 4 levels of headings, and the title of the book should be the largest with the other 3 for sections within the book. Unfortunately, this means that, in your example, sections, subsections and recipes should all be at the same level, if you want them to be navigable. Now, if there are no parts, but chapters with sections and subsections, you could have chapters at 18, sections at 16 and subsections at 14.

I wish to pose a hypothetical question here. Let's say someone is
proofreading a cookbook with parts, chapters, sections, sub-sections, and
recipes. Given bookshare's style requirements and the concern for
navigability of daisy books, how large would you put the font size on
individual recipes, assuming regular text size is 12 pt. type? Regards, Kim
Friedman.

Hi Ann,

They can work, but you have to be certain of what you're trying to achieve.
Look at Melissa's note on this subject from earlier today.  She described
the problems using those styles as you described much more clearly than I
ever could.
I don't personally use those styles.  I Select each heading, one at a time
as I find it, either with find and replace, or when reading, and go into the
format menu and enlarge it as necessary. Title 6 points larger than the text
of the book, chapter headings 4 points larger than the text of the book, and
sections within chapters 2 points larger than the text of the book.  I think
you might be able to make headings work, but am not completely sure.  But I
know Melissa had it all worked out.  And she did post here with what she
discovered.

Happy proofreading.

Mayrie

Hi Mayrie,

So you're saying that the styles in Word don't work?  If they don't, that's
cool, and I won't use 'em.  Just want to be clear.

Ann P.
