This info is good to know. I've changed Arial to Time New Roman because I
thought that was what was required. I have to magnify to 200% to proof. I'll
kep the Arial now that I know I can. Arial 12 point for text, 18, 26, 14 for
sections, chapter tiels and subheadings (we don't use 20 any more for?

>Nope, Times New Roman isn't required, just one font of your
choosing, usually something simple to read. Since you are a braille
reader, if I remember correctly, it really doesn't mattter to you as a
proofreader which font. If you like and are used to Ariel, continue using
that.

>As I said, it's not which font that matters, but that it be
one font throughout the book with proper sizing as you described in your
previous note.

>Times New Roman is just what we recommend to sighted
proofreaders as it is very easy to read and be clear about what a sighted
proofreader is seeing. Low vision proof readers prefer Ariel. It's
up to the proofreader which font he/she chooses, as long as it's all the same
font.

>Since I still have my nose out of my hole, are we now required
to put the books in Times New Roman? Easy enoughto do, but when Lessie spent oh
so much time and patience on me we used Arial. I have not gotten a book
back yet with Arial, but perhaps this is a new rule it has to be Times New
Roman?

>Well, I'm just about to begin proofing my first
Bookshare book! *gulps* Before I did it, I wanted to familiarize
myself with the steps, and, as much as possible, get comfortable with
them. 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?
