Hi Martha.

That's an excellent question.  I love it when folks ask questions about font 
size etc., it shows they are thinking about how a blind person would navigate 
through the book.

I don't think there is any definite rule about how to discriminate between a 
chapter title and a chapter name. If it were me, I would put the chapter title 
("chapter 1, chapter 2...) in 16 point font size, and the chapter name ("Loving 
The Living God") in 12 point font size. This would mean that a person looking 
through the book could go through the book chapter by chapter.

Hope this helps.

Bob

  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!
