Great handling, Mayrie!  I will file this away for future reference ... or ask 
again.  LOL

Hi Jamie,

If you'll tell us what the book is that you're talking about, I, or someone
else, can let you know how that situation was handled.

I'm curious.

I have used three asterisks to denote the white space as usual, then bolded
and enlarged those asterisks to make them usable as daisy navigation just as
a chapter title would be.  

I'm curious to know what was done with the book that you're talking about
reading right now.

Mayrie

I'm reading a book, which, while already in the collection, I'm curious
about. It has chapters, but has no chapter headings, no chapter numbers,
nothing to designate it's a new chapter except a big white space. As I'm
reading it I'm thinking if I were to scan this (which I don't have to
because it's already in the collection) what would I do? How would I let the
braille or daisy reader know it's a new chapter? Big white spaces wouldn't
translate in braille or in daisy audio. I don't know about visual daisy but
it sure wouldn't work for the other two versions.
