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!

Mayrie

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
