A single asterisk would strike me as a stray character. Three of them in a row tells me that they are meant to be there.

Hmmm, I'm wondering why use three asterisks at all. Wouldn't one be sufficient to preserve a blank line? Why not just use the three asterisks for changes of scene or passage of time, which is what print books do anyway. That is, when they use asterisks rather than bullets or some graphic for the same purpose, which can be rendered as three asterisks for Bookshare. Using three of them seems a bit of overkill just to preserve a blank line between a chapter title and the text.Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martha Rafter" <mlhr@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2012 6:46 PMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: points of navigation followed by three asterisksHi Angel,You can also put in 2 blank lines one after the other, go to the blank line just under the chapter heading, type 3 asterisks, then arrow down instead of hitting enter.Marty -----Original Message----- From: Sandi Ryan Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2012 5:24 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: points of navigation followed by three asterisksI'm not in favor of putting the stars after the chapter number, but youwould go to the blank line under the chapter/title, make sure the line is in12-point font. I think the easiest way to do it is to type for stars *,then go to the beginning of the line and backspace once, which takes out theone Word automatically changes to a bullet.

An my next question that I would like to ask. Is, Is there a faster way to move from chapter to chapter using Microsoft word 2007?Sent from my iPodOn Nov 18, 2012, at 4:21 PM, "Doug Maples" <WDMaples@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I recently started proofreading a book in which the first four lines of achapter had: blank line Chapter 1 * * * These are the first words of the first paragraph.The chapter 1 and the three asterisks are all in 16 point bold and the firstwords of the paragraph are in 12 point. This as it should be. Here's my question:We have recently been told to put the triple asterisks after the chapter name. This is all new to me because for so many years we were told to put a blank line to protect the Daisy navigation. It seems counterproductive to me to put the triple asterisks were there should be a blank line. Also, I would think that the Bookshare tool would bring those asterisks up to the same line as the Chapter 1. The Bookshare tool does not like chapter names of the same font size to be on separate lines, so it will bring them up onto a single line. But that leaves you without a blank line to separate all thechapter stuff from the paragraph.Why can't we just leave off the triple asterisks? Much simpler and much cleaner. And we don't have to worry about what the Bookshare tool is going to do. Also, wouldn't you rather listen to just the words than to hear yourbook reader telling you * * *?
