Hi Mike.
You did a beautiful job of laying out the book "constructing ideas" so that
someone could go through it quite easily without having to resort to
straight reading.
Whenever I proofread a book like this I often ask myself what would help me
if I were a college student using this book as part of a research paper, at
four a.m. on the day the paper is due. "constructing ideas" meets this test
gloriously.
If you have other books you wish to check on their layout, let me know and
I'd be glad to check it for you. If you have books with intricate layouts
like this book, where you need a proofreader who will pay attention to the
layout, I'd be happy to do it for you. Just let me know.
Here is the contents that Kurzweil constructed using its "summarize" tool.

Bob,
The last nonfiction book I did had chapters like that, with Chapter One,
then after that a chapter title. It is "Constructing Ideas" and is a book
on architecture.
This book might be a good one to check out general navigation, too. It
has two levels of subchapters within some of the chapters.
Let me check ... here's one. I set level 1 of navigation markers as the
chapters and level 2 and 3 as the two levels of subchapters. Chapter 2 has
...
Level 1
Chapter 2
THE DOGON AND THE ISSUE OF DOMAIN
Level 2
Issue
What is an architectural domain?
Level 2
How have people established architectural domains?
Level 2
How have our definitions of domain changed over time?
Level 2
How might we think of domain today?
Level 2
The Dogon
Level 3
Description of a Dogon village
Level 3
Description of a Dogon village
Level 3
Domains of the Dogon
Level 2
Closing thoughts
Level 1
Chapter 3
DOMAINS IN POST 1850 Architecture
And so on.
I'd like to know how it turned out.

If you will send me the name of a book you've done this with, I'll check
it out and let you know the results.

Some time ago, when the use of font size for indicating navigation
points was started, I asked a similar question. What happens when you
change the font for two lines of text with no blank lines between them?
In my case, the chapter title was two lines long. The answer I got was
that if two lines without blank lines between them have the same font
then bold and change the font size to say 16 for both lines, the
bookshare software will make that into one navigation point. So, if you
had a line with "Chapter 1" and after it a line with "First chapter
title" and you bold and raise the font size to 16, the reader should be
able to navigate by a line that says "Chapter 1 First chapter title."
So, that is what I have been doing. Unfortunately, I am not a member, so
I cant' check if that's how my submissions actually turn out.

Hi Gang,
I have a question about the chapter and chapter names on the book
I'm working on right now.For each chapter, there is a line such as
"Chapter one," and then 2 lines later there is a chapter name such
as "Loving The Living God."Is this second line considered a
chapter subheading or is it part of the chapter heading?I'm
confused as to whether it should be in 14 or 16 point.Thanks!
