Hi all, Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'm so excited to be working with such a great organization and getting to know the wonderful volunteers! Alisa already gave me a great introduction, so there's not much more to say. On a more fun and personal note, I love to read, write, draw, and paint. When it comes to books, I like just about everything! I'm currently reading Moby Dick and some short stories/fairy tales by George MacDonald. In the queue are Guns, Germs, and Steel, Of Mice and Men (I somehow never read it in school), and I think a mystery of some type. I'm also listening to a murder mystery book on tape in my car. I especially adore fairy tales, especially by MacDonald and Anderson, and actually wrote my college thesis on Lewis Carroll's Alice books and George MacDonald's first and last works. Please feel free to email me with any questions! Cheers, Madeleine Linares Volunteer Coordinator Bookshare, a Benetech Initiative 650-644-3459 madeleinel@xxxxxxxxxxxx Join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary! -----Original Message----- From: FreeLists Mailing List Manager [mailto:ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 10:13 PM To: bksvol-discuss digest users Subject: bksvol-discuss Digest V9 #74 bksvol-discuss Digest Wed, 14 Mar 2012 Volume: 09 Issue: 074 In This Issue: [bksvol-discuss] currently scanning [bksvol-discuss] font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Re: font Question [bksvol-discuss] Withdrawn [bksvol-discuss] Re: Withdrawn [bksvol-discuss] Re: Withdrawn [bksvol-discuss] Re: Withdrawn [bksvol-discuss] currently scanning [bksvol-discuss] Checkout A Book Link won't work in IE9 and [bksvol-discuss] Re: Withdrawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 06:20:27 -0400 Subject: [bksvol-discuss] currently scanning From: "Ixchel, Jackie" <starsandhearts2@xxxxxxxxx> Hi, I will be scanning the following books: A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery by Benjamin E.

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!
