I'm not in favor of putting the stars after the chapter number, but you would go to the blank line under the chapter/title, make sure the line is in 12-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 the one Word automatically changes to a bullet.

Hi Angel,

If you're just looking for the chapter and title to be sure they're in 16point bold, hit control with F, type in Chapter, and then "find next." When you get to the next spot, hit Escape, check it out, then do it again.

I recently started proofreading a book in which the first four lines of a
chapter 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 first
words 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 the
chapter 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 your
book reader telling you * * *?

Thanks,
- Doug
