Hi Ellen, Sometimes the tools recognize numerals as chapter headings and sometimes not with no understanding on my part of why. It is my habit to precede every numeral as a chapter number with the word "Chapter" not in quotation marks. That way when the proofreader enlarges and bolds that chapter title, it will be happily seen by the conversion tools as what it is, a chapter heading. Sorry. That was long and wordy! Yes, put the word Chapter before the numerals, please, for safety's sake.

I'm scanning a book that has chapter numbers, just digits and no words. Should I put the word Chapter before these numbers? I remember being told once that numbers left by themselves on a line get deleted by the final proofing tool. What should I do? Thanks, Ellen
