The technical stuff of headers
Darn it but I had to learn how to tweak css sheets.
First, I had to remove all formatting from Bound 1. After that, I had to find and replace the italics in appropriate places. Then I discovered that Lulu's converter objected if my doc used any font size but the default size for the chosen font. In my case, it's Garamond, which has default size 11. If I used size 12, my doc stayed size 12 in an e-reader. That's just stupid. The conversion engine should not be that stupid.
Then I discovered the headers, which create your title and chapter titles in a doc, refused to resize even if they were the default size for the font. I had to look up css and tweak the css sheet. All header font sizes were changed from 11pt to 1.5em. Don't ask me what the em means. All I know is that it allows some resizing. It's not perfect, but it's better than before.
And that's it. I only have Bound 1 fixed as an epub. The font resizes properly at last. Have to work on each one up the list now.
