Hi Donna,
Thank you so, so much for getting back to me and giving me a lifeline.
I printed out your guidance and have meticulously followed it. The result I have is improved but still has some issues. Using my Kindle 3 when I jump to a chapter from my table of contents, the chapter titles all keep the correct formatting, are the right size, bold and underlined. When I'm on a chapter page and turn the page forward and then back it still looks fine. But when I'm on the chapter page and turn left/back it shows me the same chapter page but different; there is a small underscore mark on the top left corner and my chapter title starts a line lower. When I have viewed the prc file on Kindle for PC the effects are the same although the underscore is not visible. Strangely it does work perfectly for Chapter 1.
My code for each header didn't look exactly the same as the example you gave in that the h1 code doesn't mention the style, but the header and normal style details seem to be listed at the start of the chapter page in the html code.
This is what the code looks like for chapter 1 originally looked like
Code:
<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'> </span></b></p>
<b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman";
color:black'><br clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
</span></u></b>
<h1><a name="_Toc289087672">My chapter 1 name</a><br>
<br>
</h1>
and this is what chapter 1 looks like after editing
Code:
<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'> </span></b></p>
<b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman";
color:black'><br clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
</span></u></b>
<h1 class="heading1style" id="_Toc289087672">My chapter 1 name</h1>
<br>
</h1>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:36.0pt;line-height:150%'><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>my text blah blah...
This is what the code looks like for chapter 2 originally looked like
Code:
<b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman";
color:black'><br clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
</span></u></b>
<h1><span style='text-decoration:none'> </span></h1>
<h1><a name="_Toc289087673">My chapter 2 name</a></h1>
and after
Code:
<b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman";
color:black'><br clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
</span></u></b>
<h1><span style='text-decoration:none'> </span></h1>
<h1 class="heading1style" id="_Toc289087673">My chapter 2 name</h1>
Apologies for all the code but I hope it might make sense to you...It's better, I just want it right.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
