Hi Gunter

Thanks for the tip. When I looked, the scale factor box was greyed out. The 
penny eventually dropped and I changed the san serif default to another san 
serif font, in my case, helvetica and I could then change the scaling factor. 
As you say this gives wrong proportions on line spacing, but I found that a 
little adjustment of the line spacing produced a reasonable result.

Thanks again.

You could try the scaling factor box for the individual fonts (instead of
the global document fontsize), however this will give wrong proportions as
it will not increase the spacing accordingly.

I do not know about the booklet package, but I would suggest to set the
papersize to a5 so LaTeX will know what is expected and do a proper layout.

 E.g. the koma-script packages will automatically compute text margins
 based on typographic conventions and experience (see scrguien.pdf).

There are packages or tools to sort the generated pages for printing on
A4 and producing a booklet (psnups, kprint, ..., but I have no experience
in using them).

Hi Rich

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I tried that but even when I have set the 
font to the maximum size i.e. 12 point, the print is quite small after the 
booklet package has reduced an a4 sheet of text down to a5 size. What I would 
like to achieve is a result that looks like 12 point on an a4 sheet, but 
after it has been reduced by the booklet package to fit on a5 paper. The ERT 
method I used worked, but was a compromise since I didn't want the standard 
text to be bigger than the section headings. 

Cheers

Booklet headings

[Grahame Blackwood]

Hi All

I printed a little booklet of reports this year in a5 style and using the 
booklet package. 

I set the font at size 12 but when I printed the booklet the font size shrank 
to the point where some readers would need a magnifying glass to read it. 

So I put an ERT \begin{large} in at the beginning to increase the font size 
and
closed with another ERT \end{large} and it worked --- at least partially.
Standard text increased in size, but section and subsection headings were not
changed. 

Is there anyway to do this properly so that standard text and
section/subsections are increased in size proportionally?

Cheers
