Hi Reggie,
Your three stars (either with or without spaces) is correct. Relax! Itâs
just that you used an incorrect term when you were telling us what you were
doing. Relax! Take care!

Ug! Confused once again! Maybe this just getting to be too much for me? I just
uploaded having put * * * between change of scenery lines. Probably will get
it back! Ug. Someday maybe I will understand, but have a headache right now so
will not worry about this book until it comes back! Is it supposed to be like
this?

Except for one thing. The ellipsis is to be treated as a word. If it is at the
end of a sentence it consists of the three dots and then an additional period
for a total of four dots. If it indicates a change of scenery or scene it is
still treated that way and with no asterisks. A change of scene may be
indicated with an ellipsis or it may be indicated with a blank line or it may
be indicated with both. The three asterisks are to be used when there is a
blank line that we want to retain though. Most often that is an indication of a
passage of time or an indication of scene, but it does not necessarily have to
be. Whatever it indicates it is replaced with three asterisks. It has nothing
to do with the ellipsis.

Hi Reggie,
This looks correct to me for a book where the page numbers are at the bottom.

Received a book back for more editing. Before I send back, I am trying to
proof the new way. Want to know if this is correct. I understand about the
font and points. However, have a few other questions:
1.. When putting an ellipsis to denote change of scenery it is done like
this?
Line of text
* * *
Line of text
2.. If the number is at the bottom of the page it is done like this?
Last Line of text on a page
page number
Page break
3.. When there is a chapter name (understanding bolding and points and
fon) it is set up like this?
First line below page break
Chapter number and title
First line of text
4.. When there is the start of a new page it is done like this.
Line at top of page
First line of text
I will say thanks to anyone who helps. Want to get this book up and not
have it come back for even more editing.
Reggie
