I was told a long time ago that it wasn't necessary t put in the spaces
(not that it was verboten though; in that book I replaced my spaces
asterisks with un-spaced asterisks;
I was wondering what to do when there were multiple line spaces in a book
after the text and before the end o fa page; I made the decision that they
weren't necessary and I could just make a page break and go on to the next
page and number it. I hope that was the correct decision, because I'd hate
to go back and find where to put them, but I can put them there in the
future if it's desired; but when the line spaces appeared at the top of the
next page before the text (not the chapter title) I did put them in. That
was really where the topic changed; again I hope t as o.k., but it's easier
to remove them if it's not thanit is to put them in if I hadn't. smile
