Hi Charisma!

Okay, thanks for the clarification!

So, Acknowledgments should be bold and at 16 point.
And you are correct, that for best results, inserting the word Chapter
before your chapter items is a good idea. So, you're on the right track.
It's not a problem to have two consecutive lines of text for a chapter
heading, or any other heading.  The tools can handle that. Here's why there
needed to be clarification.  Originally, the tools are supposed to see any
text bolded and enlarged as a heading.  Unfortunately, because no tool is
always perfect, sometimes, if the word "Chapter" isn't inserted, they get
confused (the tools get confused) and don't always create the headings.  It
appears that with the word "Chapter" present, they never have a problem.
So, we insert it, because, who wants problems, and doesn't want to prevent
them whenever possible?  So, that's why there may sometimes be confusion on
this topic. 

Thanks for being so conscientious, and congratulations on what you're
accomplishing and have already accomplished!  Isn't this fun?

Sorry, I'm a deranged perfectionist, and a book fiend, so I just love this
work.

Mayrie

Hi again, Mayrie,

>  Are you inserting the words "Chapter 1"?

K, this particular book has un-numbered items (acknowledgments, etc) then
items WITH numbers in front of them as if they are chapter titles, and the
first one is:
Acknowlegments
blah
blah
1.    Preface.....page 3
2.    Houdini Touch.....page 11

Anyhow, I thought I read in the training book, Birds and Bees, that we were
supposed to add the words "Chapter" in front of chapter titles.
If not, that solves the problem in which many of my chapter titles take two
lines.

> I haven't seen you on the list before, so it's great to have you with us!

Thank you! :)  I am so glad to be here. I have now proofread 1, and
submitted scans of 2, books.  I have this one started, and another almost
ready to submit but I had these nagging questions.

I LOVE Bookshare but I am finding the benefit of community just as exciting
as the books!
