Hi E,
I am not quite positive how to do this on a Braillenote, as the
measurements I get are in inches, not that helpful.
But to determine font size, at least for me, as I have a QT keyboard, is
to go to control plus t, for font, then type one of the letters for the
fonts, n for on f for off.
You treat it like any block character so put a on before the text you
want in that font and a off after the ending of the text.
I will have to look it up to find what the BT commands are.
Frankly I would rather do it on the computer though as it is faster with
jaws.
Would be nice to know a size, recommended, smile.

I may be confused here. I thought proof readers are now expected to make
the chapter headings in some kind of font larger than the font used in
the rest of the document. I must have missed the part about how actually
big the headings are to be and how big the font is to be for the rest of
the text. Also I still do not understand how to tell font size on a
braillenote so as I say i remain confused.

Yes it will, but that's what I wanted to do.
As the chapter heading (chapter 1...) was different than the chapter
name ("How I fixed my problem"...), I decided to make the whole document
the same, then go back and set the chapter heading and name to the same
font and point size.
So, to answer your question, yes it does.

In Kurzweil, if I use control-1 to select everything in a file and then
go to the font menu and set the font for the whole document, won't that
mess up the chapter headings being in a font larger than the text?

Hi Bob!
Yes, you can do this in Kurzweil. In the edit menu is a "format"
thingy in the list. If you hit enter on that, you will see font and
paragraph as you arrow up and down. If you select the text that you
want to change the font of, just follow the prompts in the "font"
dialogue. Do you know how to select text? For example if you want to
select the chapter title, say it is "Crazy Woman Gives Strange
Instructions, Place your cursor just before the first letter on the
line, press shift plus end and your text is now selected. Then
whatever you tell the font dialogue to do, it will do to the selected
text.
There are other ways to do this, but I can never remember the
simpler ones. I've got a crummy memory and am menu-dependent.
Good luck! and ask if my Sunday morning never-enough-coffee brain has
befuddled you.

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
