Marilyn;
Do you do your prep work in Word? If so, there are additional ways to
accommodate low vision beyond zoom and screen resolutions. When I was proofing
on my iPad, I set everything in right fonts (20 bold-title, 18 bold-sections,
16
bold-chapters, 14 bold-subtopics, 12 text), then select entire document
(control-A) and control-right bracket to a comfortable size. Then, when you
are
done with all edits, again select the entire document and the same number as
you
increased with control left bracket. It was a lifesaver when I edited on my
iPad.
Hope that helps you or anyone else interested...
Valerie

Hi, Reggie.
I hope you're not having trouble with my submission of "Captain Quirk: The
Unauthorized Biography of William Shatner." All of the regular text in all the
books I submit and proofread are in 14 point because that's the smallest I can
make it and still be able to read for long periods of time (and I zoom that up
200 percent!). Then subtitles are two points larger than that, chapter titles
are two points larger than subtitles, and the book title is two points larger
than chapter titles (the largest being 20 point for the book title). I thought
this would be okay as far as navigating was concerned.
If it's not, if 14 point for the regular text is unacceptable, someone please
let me know and I'll see what else I might be able to do.
Thank you,
Marilyn
