Very helpful to know, Valerie! I'll make a mental note to always make
sure
my scanned texts end up in TNR, as well as changing those books I
proofread
to said font.
Warmest,
Kim

Not Mayrie, but either is acceptable, especially if one is preferred in a
partnership. As a dyslexic, and sighted person, however, I have to say
Times New Roman is easier and I am less likely to miss an OCR error
confusing the number one, the lower case l and the upper case I, so I
switch
to TNR when starting to proofread.

Mary:
Since I still have my nose out of my hole, are we now required to put
the
books in Times New Roman? Easy enoughto do, but when Lessie spent oh so
much
time and patience on me we used Arial. I have not gotten a book back yet
with Arial, but perhaps this is a new rule it has to be Times New Roman?

Hi Mayrie,
Many thanks! Both for the confirmation and the words of encouragement.
LOL I'm a very thorough, detail-oriented person by nature, so wanted to
double-check. *smile* I appreciate the help and support very much!
Warmest,
Kim

HI Kim,
Absolutely! You can and should change font and standardize it, then
bold
and enlarge where necessary! You've got the process well in hand!
Happy proofreading!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] font Question
Hi All,
Well, I'm just about to begin proofing my first Bookshare book!
*gulps*
Before I did it, I wanted to familiarize myself with the steps, and, as
much
as possible, get comfortable with them. I know practice and the routine
of
doing them over and over for books will make it easier. Hahaha.
Hopefully
after successfully completing this one, I won't feel so daunted.
*sheepish
grin*
My question is about the font. This particular book has a font that my
Word 2003 doesn't have installed, so it said it would show me the closest
font available. I understand that Times New Roman is an easy font to
read,
and know from the documentation that it's a recommended font. I already
know that I can't change text. But is it okay to change the type of
font.
In other words, could I select the entire content of the rtf, change it
to
times new roman 12 point, and then change the size of particular chapter
titles, book title, etc, as required?
Any info is very much appreciated!
Thanks much!
Kim
