Thanks. Much appreciated for the help on calibre. I'm going to study all that you've written. I also downloaded the file you posted.

One thing I forgot to mention is that my assemblage of this title - and subsequent addition of the word "chapter" to the chapter numbers that eventually created my chapter page breaks - all this was done in Word's RTF.

I don't know how that changes the help you've offered.

Don __________________ “How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp 1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example: “Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked. “Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed. The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
