Chapter titles should have a bigger font so that members can move through

If you're using Word, you select the text you want to increase, and hit the
control key and the right bracket key. Hit the left bracket key instead to
decrease the size.
Christina

Other things to watch for at the paragraph symbol at the ends of sentences
