Interesting; my 3 asterisks without spaces do not turn the first one to a
bullet (I have an old Word ( 1983-2001) but putting the chapter title into
16 Bold does create a black square; hopefully command Z will eliminate
that; now what I have to do is to go to the heading file and then click on
Clear Formatting, which clears chapter title as well as the black square,
and then re-format the title. I'll try marilyn's suggestion and hope it
works for me as wwell; thanks to both of you.
