Hi Jon
You did not mention where you are having the problem ePUB, LRF, or within BookCreator. I’ll take the shotgun approach and answer for all the platforms.

Question 1: Font size setting

For ePUB/LRF you do not have to use ‘--base-font-size’ there is a GUI setting. (See attahced thumbnail image )

For ePUB/LRF
To change the default font size use the “Base Font “, located under the “Page Layout” tab. The default size is “8”, change it to your preferred size. I believe you like 10?

BookCreator
To permanently change the font size on BookCreator.(until the next upgrade).

1) Open up BookCreator.dot via the “File|Open…” menu option
2) Navigate to the BookCreator.dot file
3) Right click on the “_1 Text” Style located under the “Styles and Formats” and selected the “Modify…” menu option.
4) Depress the <Format> button and select the “Fonts…” menu.
//Once the font changes are made save and close the file.

Question 2: Paragraph indentation:

ePUB
It seems calibre’s ePUB seems to have some issues with CSS created from MS Word/BookCreator. The result is calibre ends up using it’s default CSS. The only workaround at the time is for the user to pass in their CSS commands under the “Additional Parameters” edit box.

LRF
For LRF calibre is very good at using the stylesheets so changes must be made in Bookcreator .

BookCreator
To permanently change the font size on BookCreator.(until the next upgrade).
Note: Paragraph settings are unique to each style. So you will have to repeat for each style you want to modify.

1) Open up BookCreator.dot via the “File|Open…” menu option
2) Navigate to the BookCreator.dot file
3) Right click on the “_1 Text” Style located under the “Styles and Formats” and selected the “Modify…” menu option.
4) Depress the <Format> button and select the “Paragraph…” menu.
5) Change indentation section
//Note: The Left/Right edit boxes change the whole paragraph. The Special section changes the first line indent among other specialized paragraph features
