Yes Mayrie, thanks.
I wanted to change the font so that they all had the same format. I just did a
control a and went to the font menu, as you suggested, and set it like I wanted
it. Worked like a charm.
Don't know why I read the manual after asking the question. Should work the
other way around.
Oh well, more coffee.
Bob

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.

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
