Hi Debby,
I've never added chapter before chapter numbers, since I was told as
long as you put the page number and a blank line before the chapter
number it would all work out. I'm glad to see that it did at least for
your book.
However, when there is a blank page, as your page 21 apparently is, I
put a blank line, then the phrase [blank page] then another blank line.
This keeps people from being concerned that they might have missed
something.
I know the scanning and proofing guide has been updated a few times
lately, but at least the last time I looked, neither your adding chapter
or my adding [blank page] were required. So, using them is apparently a
matter of taste.

Hi Ellen and everyone!
I just remembered, after setting this message aside for a while to
check on a book I had submitted, because I remembered that it had just
numbers for chapters as Ellen's book does.
This was towards the beginning of my volunteer days, so I wasn't aware
that I should put the word "Chapter" in front of the number "1", "2",
etc.
I downloaded this book I am referring to: "In the Night Season" by
Siegfried Stander and Christiaan Barnard,, because it was the first
one I thought of that named chapters this way, because I suddenly
became concerned about what the tool might have done to the numeric
chapter titles after reading Ellen's question.
Everything looks okay to me. Here is what comes immediately after the
prologue including the first sentence of chapter 1.

The houses on this street were identical, small and square like
drawings by a child
with a passion for order, each with a door set in the center and
equidistant windows
on either side.
I'm pleased with the results, though, since the inclusion of the word
"chapter" making it Chapter 1 seems helpful to anyone, as several
people suggested, I'll remember to include it in the future.

Hi group,
I have a bit of a problem. I'm scanning a book that has chapter
numbers, just digits and no words. Should I put the word Chapter
before these numbers? I remember being told once that numbers left by
themselves on a line get deleted by the final proofing tool. What
should I do?
Thanks,
Ellen
