Hi, Mayrie, I understand what you're saying. Let me put this another
way: let us say I have a page I'm working on. Below the page number is a
part number with a title, below that is a chapter number without a
title, and below that is the text on that particular page. Let's say I
have put the part number plus its title at 18 pt. type and it's bolded
in Times New Roman. Let's add that the chapter heading has been bolded
and at 16 pt. type in the same font. What I want to know is this: should
there be a blank line between the part title and the chapter heading?
Another question is if a chapter heading appears in the middle of the
page, should there be blank lines between the last line of text and the
heading of the chapter I'm about to proofread? Also, after I've done the
usual thing with the chapter title (16 pt. type, bolded, Times new
Roman, changes saved) should there be a blank line after the chapter
marking the beginning of the text for that chapter? Regards, Kim
Friedman. P.S.: I hope I made myself clear as that is what I was
concerned about in my last message on this thread. Thanks much for the
advice. K.

Hi Kim,
What you do is fine except for one thing. Your chapter headings need
not only to be bold, but in 16 point font if the body is 12 point. If
you have a part number and a chapter number on the same page, or
anywhere else for that matter, the Part 1, or whatever it's called will
need to be bold and in 18-point font, chapter heading at 16-point and
body of the text of the book at 12-point. If you do not enlarge the
title of the book to 20 point, parts to 18-point, and chapter headings
to 16-point with chapter sections at 14-point, there will not be proper
daisy navigation. This navigation is important in my opinion.
Putting asterisks on the line before and after a chapter heading or
part, will let the reader know that there was white space in the book to
begin with.
Hope all that helps.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A question of formatting
Hi, all of the books I've proofread in the past put new chapters at the
top of the page. I mention this because the present book I'm working on
has chapters in the middle of the page and I'd like your opinion how to
format this. Here's what I've done so far: After the last sentence of
the previous chapter, I entered a blank line where I wrote in three
asterisks, after this line of asterisks, there's the next chapter
heading which is bolded, and after that I entered another blank line on
which I wrote three asterisks. Is this correct procedure? My object for
doing this is to insure there will be blank space surrounding the
chapter title. Another question I have is how to format a page in which
the Part number, its title, and the chapter heading appears on the same
page. How does one format this? Should there be a blank line between the
Part title and the chapter heading? I'm concerned that the file looks
good when it's checked in. Regards, Kim Friedman.
