My only suggestion at this point is that everyone keep a presubmission copy of 
their books in case this problem is ever fixed.
I can dream, can't I?

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I learn something new


  My most recent experiment     in chapter protection has been added to the 
  collection and i finally got arround to looking at it today.  Too bad it 
  was a failure.  I won't mention any of the names of people who insisted 
  that splitting chapter titles on to two lines without a blank line between 
  them would protect them.  They are wrong.  Every chapter in this book had a 
  title as well as a number.  I made very sure that the word chapter and it's 
  number were on one line, which was always the second actual line on the 
  page.  The chapter title was on the next, or third actual line.  The 
  chapter titles are there, but the word chapter and the number have 
  completely disappeared.

  It seems that creating a fake header imitating the headers on the rest of 
  the books pages is the only way to protect chapters.  Of course a page 
  number works as well, but it would have been nice if this worked so that a 
  book with page numbers at the bottoms of pages would not require extra work 
  and header creation.

  Do Comets Dream? is the name of the failure.
  A Right to Die came out just fine, because I protected the chapter numbers, 
  which were actual numbers without the word chapter preceding them, by 
  putting the page number at the top of the page.  I already had tried that 
  method, though.
