If the asterisks are at the beginning of a chapter I don't see how they interrupt the flow of the book. That is already interrupted by the beginning of a chapter. Nevertheless, if there is a chapter heading to alert me that a new chapter is starting I can't say that I need the asterisks too.

Correct Cindy, though there would be no blank line between them. If I were listening to the book, the asterisks would drive me crazy since it would say "star star star" and would mess up the flow of the book. Seems in that case wwe should put in 16-point the chapter name/number and then enter and continue with the book without a blank line. In Braille on a refreshable Braille device (BrailleNote, PacMate, BrailleSense, etc.) the 3 asterisks would be a line so one would have to bypass them with a flick of the whiz wheels/thumb keys/ etc. which just means more movement for the hands and wrists. Still think the asterisks should just be taken out with a 16-point title for the sighted folks and no blank line so the text would be just under the title name. Just my opinion and will do as instructed at least after the current book I am proofing since I am halfway through but stopped due to editing my second book for my 2 authors. First book is on Amazon.

Thanks for that info, Reggie; That's interesting; so it would be as if the body text is a new paragraph vis-a-vis the chaper title.

I have also seen nothing between title of chapter and first line of text except a normal line or one enter. Do not know how that would work for sighted readers navigating, but that would be fine in Braille.Reggie and Brooks On Nov 20, 2012, at 11:56 AM, Cindy Rosenthal <grandcyn77@xxxxxxxxx>wrote:In posting a response to Madeleine's explanation, along with my question about do I understand then that if the chapter title is 16 point Bold and the text is 12 point regular, asterisks aren't necessary, I forgot to ask what do members prefer? Given that the space is deleted and the texts are squished together--asterisks or nothing between chapter title and beginning of body. (Since in this book I've begun with the asterisks, I 'll c ontinue,but I want to know for he future. smile CIndy To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
