BTW, the layout in the book looks very nice. My questions and suggestions are because it is not using tools build into Word to help with things. Not using Styles when using Word is like trying to push a string (not a ball of string, a string).

Thanks Charles!

In response to your questions:

Are you trying to add a blank page between the acknowledgements and the preface? Yes.

You want the preface to start on an odd page? Yes. Every section is to begin on an odd-numbered page (the right side of the book).

At any time during the preparation of this document did someone by chance use the Master Documents "Feature?". I will ask the others, I simply formatted it after it had all been typed up.

Or, was any part of it scanned and copied? I believe the answer is no, but, same as above, I will ask.

Regarding the other sound suggestions, while it may end up being that we have to "start from scratch", in a sense, we are hoping that something can be done with the existing document as we were on a timeline that has since passed.

Thanks so much for your assistance!
