Rik,

Here's the basics on DAISY navigation:


                     4)  Use these font sizes:         For the:
                          20 point  +  BOLDING        Book title
                          18 point  +  BOLDING        Larger section headings  
(such as "Part I", or "Section 2")
                          16 point  +  BOLDING        Headings for each section 
in the Front Matter, & Back Matter
                          16 point  +  BOLDING        Chapter headings
                          14 point  +  BOLDING        Chapter subheadings
                          12 point                             Text in the body 
of the book

                     5)  Maximum font size for anything in the file:       =  
20 point
                          Minimum font size for anything in the file:        =  
 8 point

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] levels of daisy navigation in scanned books? And a 
variety of questions

Should we as book scanners ever see the day that we will scan our books and set 
the multi-levels of Daisy navigation?

I sure have been enjoying my own book scanning creating the Part 1 and part 2 
as one level, and then the chapter headings as the next level down and so on.
And this still has the page breaks as navigation, too.

I think from submitting a couple books, the RTF files do not have that 
capability, do they?

And while I am asking silly questions, some books we are getting to download, 
they have the daisy with image version as well as just daisy.
What is that all about?  Can anyone enlighten me?

I had been more actively volunteering, and am just returning for a bit with a 
few books I wanted to submit and may try to proofread again.
Are there a ton of changes since say about 18 months ago as far as proofreading 
goes?  It seems that might be the case.

If so, and you have it handy, please post the link to the most fresh version of 
the volunteer manual.

Thanks everyone for all your great work!

Rik
