It depends on where the chapter headings are. If they are in the middle of the page with text before and after then they do not really need to be protected. I suppose the three asterisks are there just to separate one chapter from another. If the chapter headings are at the beginning of the page then continue to protect them with a blank line. Again, here is the format for a page: page break, blank line, page number, blank line, text of page, blank line, page break. If there is a chapter heading at the top of the page then it should be: page break, blank line, page number, blank line, chapter heading, blank line, text of the page, blank line, page break. All of those blank lines will be stripped out by the conversion tools. The reason for placing them there is so that nothing else will be stripped out instead.

Hi Valerie and other friends,Putting three asterisks is a new thing, yes. Also, I thought that we were supposed to âprotectâ chapter headings with a blank line before and after the headings.
