I thought we were told at an earlier time to do that anyway.

Another possible option for chapters that begin in the middle of the page and - for a chapter title - just have a chapter number without the word "Chapter", is to add the word "Chapter" to the chapter title and make sure the title is formatted in 16-point bold. That removes any confusion between a chapter title and a page number. The 16-point bold also makes it clear that it's a chapter heading.

Please pardon my arrogance for doing just this in the current book I'm scanning.

    Hi all,
    I’m so sorry for the confusion!
    Evan and Lori (or whoever Lori is referring to): I owe you guys an
    apology. The only time you need to put asterisks a new chapter
    name is if they start partway through a page and aren’t obviously
    identified with the word “chapter.”
    At one point we were putting asterisks before all chapter titles,
    and then we were putting them only before chapters that started
    partway down the page. The instances I’d been thinking of where
    chapters started partway through a page didn’t have the word
    “chapter,” so I’d just gotten it into my head that they should
    always be added in when a chapter starts partway down a page.
    Having thought through this, though, it isn’t necessary if the
    word “chapter” is there. Please forgive my lack of thoughtfulness!
    Best,

     Per the  recent post on the subject I've gone back to the book
    I'm proofing and, having deleted the asterisks after the title and
    before the next text, I've put them after the text and before the
    chapter title
     Cindy
     I'll do whatever I have to once Madeleine tells us what the
    latest is.
