Greg, I did make the layout in A5, I have played about with it a long time.
Now my cloud don't seem to work, I would have liked to send a sample. Is there any other way I can do that? And if so, what format. PDF is the one i had attempted to send 3 pages but that was to big for the list. I then attempted a png format at 200dpi. Still too big. Is there any member of this list that would except the the PDF to make it available to others???? Wena D.

Separate from the actual book creation, you should be able to make some sample pages with typical text, then play around with fonts and font sizes, printing them out as you decide. Remember you can make fractional font sizes, like 8.6 or 9.3 points. You may also find that you need a slightly larger size of one language or the other, depending on legibility. Playing a bit with linespacing may be needed.
