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.

        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
