Thanks very much Pavi.
I think I solved the problem, and I'll describe what I did in case it might
help others.
The book is "Speaking out: inside the White House" by Larry Speakes. I am using
Kurzweil version 10.
The problem was that the chapter heading (chapter 1...) was on a separate line
with a font of about 16 points. It was followed by a blank line, then the
chapter name which was in 62 points. This would create a level 1 book mark with
the chapter heading, then a level two heading with the chapter name. I wanted a
level 1 bookmark with the chapter heading and the chapter name.
I created a uniform font for the entire text by pressing ctrl a, then bringing
up the edit menu with alt+e then the font menu with a letter o. I set the font
to be 12 point. Then I found each chapter heading with a search for the word
"chapter", put both the heading and title on the same line by deleting the
blank line between the two. I then pressed home on this line to go to the
beginning of the line, and shift+end to select the whole line. I then pressed
ctrl+] twice to set the font to 14 points.
This method seemed to have worked fine.
Hope this helps.
Incidentally, thanks to KariG I had an excellent scan to work with.
Bob

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about Kurzweil and fonts
I have a book that generally has decent fonts.
However, the first part of the chapter headings are in times new roman 16
points, and the chapter names are in times new roman 62 points. As I understand
the new program's actions, this will create a bookmark 1 at the chapter title,
and a subbook mark at the chapter name.
What I'd like to do is set everything in the book to times new roman
12-point. Then go in and manually manipulate the chapter headings and names.
I could probably do this in word with some references to it's god-awful help
system. But my question is: can I do this in Kurzweil v10? If so, how?
Thanks.
Bob
