I don't remember what bookshare recommended (I think it was something like 18 points). However, I can tell you my experience as a proofreader.


I usually standardize the document at 12-points. Then I put chapter headings at 14-points. If there are parts or books in a book (i.e. part 1, book 1), or in the case of Charles Dickens Stave 1, then I put them in 16-points.

Hope that helps.

Bob

The rtf I got through the checkout process won't work?

Please save yourself the work by asking Carrie for a copy you can
work on. She will put the rtf on the check in list with "hold for"
and your name if you ask her to do so.

I am working on fixing Atlas Shrugged and am wondering how to make the
DAISY headers come out right when I re-submit.

I've seen references to changing the font sizes on the text that
should trigger such headers but am worried if I do that the pagination
will break.  Due to that concern I haven't actually tried yet.

Does anyone know what the exact requirements of the conversion tool
are?  The guide isn't particularly helpful on this area.
