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.

>>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!
