Hi, Cindy!
Use what works for you; TNR and Arial are just the recommendations for
submitting a scan, but most people can change it in their editing software. It
looks like you have the sizes wrong, though. The tool needs everything 20 pt.
and under.
12: body of text
20: title (bold)
18: sections (bold)
16: chapters (bold)
14: subsections within chapters (bold)
Hope that helps!
Valerie

>>etc,
>>as required?

>>Any info is very much appreciated!
