In the poor etiquette of replying to my own messages, I forgot to mention the
blank line before and after any level of navigation, page break, or page
number.
The tool eliminates the lines, but it must somehow serve as a trigger that a
command is coming as otherwise sometimes these are run into text of book in my
experience. Especially page numbers, which can lead to mis-pagination if they
are not recognized.

Not trying to muddy the waters, Cindy, but the email I read from Scott only
said
titles did not get converted to all caps. The navigational sizes are all
bolded, and as follows:
Titles in 20 pt bold
Sections in 18 pt. bold
Chapters in 16 pt. bold
Subdivisions in chapters 14 pt and bold
Body of text in 12 point regular unless altered in the print edition
I typed them each as we would; not sure if my webmail will retain their
characteristics.

I used to do that, but recently when I checked the manual I read that titles
need only to be 16 point Bold (and not caps) and subtitles 14point Bold and not
c aps, and that is what I' e been doing on this book. I think I asked Scott,
but can't remember. Am I wrong? I'm not going to go back correct what I've
done
on this book so far, but I can go back to 20point Bold (and caps?) and 16 for
subtitles as I continue and on future books if that's what we should still be
doing.
