[bksvol-discuss] Re: Project




 've wondered about that first letter of the first sentence ; I seem to 
remember (perhaps wrongly, since my memory isn't the greatest) , that we are 
supposed to enlarge it if it is enlarged (or different) in the book.  I make it 
the same size as the chapter heading. It seems to emphasize  the start of the 
chapter. If we don't have to do that I'll be happy not to. smile
