That's what I expected, but I wanted to double
check.  Thanks.

  Gary:

  Always I put the chapter headings, chapter number and title (even on the next 
line) bolded and now in 16-point.  Just makes sense to me with no argument from 
Madeleine yet!

  No idea.  Sorry.  I even wonder about point sizes for chapter heading as well 
as title.  "Chapter 1" I Buy A Dog.  Does the whole thing, even if on two 
separate lines have to be the same point size and bolded?

  Sorry I can't be of help.

    Gary,

     

    I believe the author's name is also supposed to be in 18 point, right?

    From Carrie:

    Adding navigation to a book allows readers to jump to the chapters, find 
sections
    and parts easily, that sort of thing. The way we indicate parts, sections, 
and chapters
    is by the font size. The larger the font, the more important the line of 
text. There's
    a small section in the volunteer manual that gives some parameters:
                      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

    > Since the standard font size is 12 point, then, unless the chapter has 
subsections, its title  can be in 14 point. As Madeleine mentioned here not 
long ago, a two point differential is sufficient for the Daisy converter. The 
chapter title need be in 16 point only if there are headings within the 
chapter, and those headings should be in 14 point.
