Hi, Melissa,
I guess I take the long way around the barn when setting up the font sizes.
I select the part, chapter, section, whichever then go into the font menu
(alt+O) then tab to the size column and make my choice. It takes a bit
longer but works for me; I guess I'm just used to doing it that way.I use
MS Word 2003.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Part 1, Chapter 1 and Point Size
Well, the problem with this, on my system at least is 2 fold. First,
there appear to only be 3 heading styles. When I press control and and
alt with 1, 2 or 3, I hear that heading style 1, 2 or 3 respectfully has
been applied. However, 4-6 do nothing. Secondly, the font changes that
are made do not reflect what we've been told by engineering. Engineering
says that there needs to be at least 2 points between font sizes to
recognize them as headers. Style 1 is in aerial 16 point bold, style 2 is
in aerial 14 point bold, and style 3 is aerial 13 point bold. So, style 1
and 2 will work, but nothing beyond that. Now, if you were able to define
your own heading styles so that style one would be 20 point, style 2 18
point, style 3 16 point and style 4 14 point, this would be a really
useful tool. Engineering says that only 4 heading levels can be
recognized, so anything more than that wouldn't count anyway.
Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa et al. This is a good question.

Ann,
If chapter headings are in 14, how can you mark sections within chapters
to navigate to them? For instance, if you are working with a recipe
book, and need to be able to navigate to each recipe. A recipe book
might have a part on main dishes, within that, there might be chapters
for meat, poultry, seafood, etc, then you have the individual recipes
within each chapter. Using 16 point for the part, and 14 for the
chapter, you don't have anything left for the individual recipes.
That's why I like to use Word for editing. All the header styles are
predefined, and there are six of them. Header 1 is the largest size and
boldest text and is for the biggest sections. Style 6 is for the
smallest changes above plain text. You can do this manually by
determining how many different sections there are in a book and making
the text conform accordingly. You may just have chapters. That would be
just header 1. You may have sections, chapters and sub sections in which
case you'd need three different header styles. It's like writing an
outline, in fact it is writing an outline because you are defining the
various sections and levels of your book, which is, after all, the
strength of the DAISY mark-up language.

Hi all,
Actually, Part I is supposed to be in header style 1 and Chapter 1 is
in header style 2. That means the parts are the biggest sections and
the chapters are the next section down. It is important to mark these
headers properly so that the DAISY converter can do its work. Header
style 2 should be in fourteen point not sixteen. In Word, it is very
easy to accomplish this by selecting the line and then adding the
header style with alt-ctrl-1 through alt-ctrl-6.
