Completed changed (edited)!
Ugh, MS Word makes such a mess of things when converting to HTML!
First, make sure you have backed up the HTML in case this doesn't work as expected. Also, you might want to change just a few chapters and test before changing your entire document.
For Chapter 1, I would probably delete everything in red:
Code:
<mbp:pagebreak />
<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 One Name</h1>
<br>
</h1>
What you'll be left with is:
Code:
<mbp:pagebreak />
<h1 class="heading1style" id="_Toc289087672">My Chapter One Name</h1>
Deletion of that coding may remove a blank line or two above your chapter heading because
adds a blank line. If needed, you could add coding to the h1 style to move the heading down a bit, like this (add in whatever number of pts works for you):
In this section of the removed code above, it was instructing to break the page:
Code:
style='page-break-before:always'
So, when you added that page-break code to the h1 heading style, now you have two page breaks, which creates a blank page. I believe the
<u> and
</u> codes there were causing the small underlines.
For your second (and subseqent?) chapters, I would delete all the coding in red:
Code:
<mbp:pagebreak />
<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>
So, what you're left with is:
Code:
<mbp:pagebreak />
<h1 class="heading1style" id="_Toc289087673">My chapter 2 name</h1>
Let me know if that works. At least you're making progress in the right direction!
