Hi Chris and Christina,
If the chapter headings are appearing in the center of pages
regularly, and the first chapter is in the center of a page, it is very
likely that the submitter did not get all of the page breaks into the book.
This can happen if the submitter did not tell his/her OCR program to
recognize two pages per scan, when two facing pages are placed on the
scanner glass at the same time. If this is the case, there won't be the
proper number of page breaks in the book. In fact, only half of the page
breaks that should be there will be. Bookshare requires that 90% of page
breaks be present in a book. If headers don't exist so that you can know
where page breaks should have been, I'd reject the book.

Hi, Chris. That's weird.
If you want Chapter One to start on a new page, hit the control key and the
enter key at the same time before Chapter One begins. This is the command
for Word to insert a hard page break.
