Thanks, Dave. Yes, that does help. Thank you for understanding what I
really wanted to know when I unintentionally started that thread. <smile>
Now I am interested to know, so I will extract another copy of this book to
play with.

Hi Sue,
You have a number of possibilities on the chapter headings.
First, no Bookshare doesn't have anything that is going to attack your
chapter headings before validation.
As it has already been mentioned, sometimes chapter headings don't scan
reliably if they are in an odd font, an odd size, or if there is too much
white space between the chapter heading and the first line of text.
Another possibility is that they are actually there, and as you are using
MS Word for editing, they are either in a font, or size, your screen reader
can't handle, or they have been identified as headers by the OCR package,
and your screen reader isn't seeing them.
Sometimes, when I suspect that for some reason or other I'm not getting all
the text due to something like the font or size, I'll check into it by
saving an additional text copy. Now since I've mentioned that 4 lettered
word that is likely to get some going off on a tangent on the evils of text
files, I'll just reiterate, I save an additional copy solely for the
purpose of searching through to find out if the text is actually there.
