Hi Lori,
I think the stars will remain if you put spaces between them. Hope
whoever told you to use stars told you to put spaces between them.

Hello, Ann and Everyone,
Ann, your comment about stars making a line prompts me to ask a question.
Sometime ago, someone on this list suggested that I use stars instead of the
word "header" to protect chapter titles when a page number is not at the top
of a page. However, when I type several stars and then check back to see if
the stars are there, they are not readable. It is as though I have never
typed them. Does anyone know why this problem would occur. I am using MS
Word 2003 to validate.
Thanks.
Cat Lover Lori
