If I had a magic sword, I would just wave it and make this all go away. . . . Thanks everyone. Yep, going down font sizes is definitely the standard and I am trying to convince a new client that what they want for a manual works really, really well for brochures and tech. notes, but not for a true technical manual that will be very big. Sigh . . . I am going down a font size or two and maybe either bold or a underline just because I don't have the option of In Column vs. Sideheads, which is what I seriously prefer. Cannot. . . get . . . them . . .to . . .budge . . .on . . . a . . .single . . .column . . . so . . . Retirement is gonna' come sooner rather than later at this stage in the game. Thanks!

It's been sooooooo long since I have designed anything w/ all these required bells and whistles. (I am more of plain Jane template kinda' gal, and want to focus more on the technical content of big honking manual, but that's a whole 'nuther story.) That said, I have the following paragraph tags: Chapter Title and Appendix Title, both 28 pt and the tags have a Reference Graphic called TitleLine underneath them that is a single line done in a corporate color and font for my client and of a preferred width. These tags are used only on the first page of a chapter or appendix. HeadLev1, which is used at the Top of the Page. It is 24 pt. and in the same corporate font in Regular weight and in good old black w/out any other adornments and is In Column. HeadLev2, which can start anywhere, is obviously used after a HeadingLev1, is 16 pt and the same corporate font Regular weight in good old black w/out any other adornments and is In Column. I will need at times to have a HeadLev3. . . not frequent, but needed. It needs to be delineated somehow from HeadLev2. I am not really crazy about going down a font size, unless maybe making it bold instead? Or do I keep it the same font size as HeadLevel 2 and maybe put like a thin double-line underneath it? I am just curious how y'all have made a distinct difference between Heading2s and Heading3s w/out overdoing a Heading3. Because I cannot have any sideheads in this template (a single text frame), everything is In Column, so I can't make everything other than a Heading3 go across columns/sideheads and keep the Heading3s just like Heading2s but make them In Column instead (which is my usual approach).
