Hi Bob!
 
    Yes, you can do this in Kurzweil.  In the edit menu is a "format" thingy
in the list.  If you hit enter on that, you will see font and paragraph as
you arrow up and down.  If you select the text that you want to change the
font of, just follow the prompts in the "font" dialogue.  Do you know how to
select text?  For example if you want to select the chapter title, say it is
"Crazy Woman Gives Strange Instructions, Place your cursor just before the
first letter on the line, press shift plus end and your text is now
selected.  Then whatever you tell the font dialogue to do, it will do to the
selected text.
 
    There are other ways to do this, but I can never remember the simpler
ones.  I've got a crummy memory and am menu-dependent.
 
Good luck!  and ask if my Sunday morning never-enough-coffee brain has
befuddled you.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about Kurzweil and fonts


I have a book that generally has decent fonts.
 
However, the first part of the chapter headings are in times new roman 16
points, and the chapter names are in times new roman 62 points. As I
understand the new program's actions, this will create a bookmark 1 at the
chapter title, and a subbook mark at the chapter name.
 
What I'd like to do is set everything in the book to times new roman
12-point. Then go in and manually manipulate the chapter headings and names.
 
I could probably do this in word with some references to it's god-awful help
system. But my question is: can I do this in Kurzweil v10? If so, how?
 
Thanks.
Bob
