Thanks, Monica. I never thought of trying to retain
color; I haven't seen that many books using it--I
suppose it's more expensive--but when I have I just
used bold instead.
BTW, not all chapter titles are bold in books;
sometimes they're in italics or caps or just a larger
font. I've been doing whatever the book does. Should I
be making them bold? Is this a bookshare thing?
