I think the style of chapter headings is more what the publisher wants, not what the writer wants. So I don't think adding chapter in front of the number is changing what is copyrighted. Given Sue's feedback about brf files, I'll try to remember to do it in the future.

Wouldn't that be considered changeing the text of the book, which is generally frowned on, because the number without the word "chapter" is how it appears in the original text? Or doesn't that matter with something as small as chapter numbers and their prefixes. If it doesn't, feel free to insert the word "Chapter". Also, I've never had a PacMate and am not sure how its search function works, but if it's capable of searching for queries with spaces in the beginnings, if you know the book is divided into chapters which use Arabic rather than Roman Numerals, you can try searching for four or five spaces, followed by a number sign. In the BRF files, a boulded passage (chapter number, title of a short story, ETC) shows up as about fifteen spaces followed by the boulded text, I'm guessing to mimic the way a Braille book is formatted in case someone wants to emboss it, so searching for four or five spaces followed by 2 would filter out any existance of the number two in the text, and get you straight to the boulded chapter number.On 15-Jul-12 07:18, Sue Stevens wrote:I add the word chapter as well. In BRF files, at least, the arabic numbers are confusing for navigation. If I put a 2, for example in the find field, I get all the instances of any numbers with a 2 in them, even if the chapter number is bolded. But if I can search for Chapter 2, my PacMate takes me right to it.

We aren't supposed to have to, but I have seen the rare instance in which just the numeral was bolded and enlarged, but didn't show up as a chapter heading. So, I always add the word "Chapter" but we aren't supposed to have to. I prefer to leave nothing to chance.Just my opinion.
