 +Q: A couple of questions for Blood on the Breakwater.
 +
 +1. At the very end of the book (page 229), there is a message from the author. I initially gave this the heading 'Message from the Author', but thought I should check with you. 
 +
 +2. Also, the section 'Kids books by Jean Paetkau:' occurs both at the end of the book (on the same page as the message from the author) and directly following the publishing information - is this okay?
 +
 +Here is the screenshot for both questions:{{ :public:nnels:etext:bloodonbreakwater.jpg?400 |}}
 +
 +A: Remove both.
 + 
 +----
 +Q: In the BC Gov Doc “Service Delivery for Purposes of Scoping Cost and Timelines for Translation,” there is a table with an asterisk in two cells, and each asterisk leads to the same note directly below the table. Can I use an endnote or is there another way to handle notes within tables?
 +
 +Here is a snip from the original, the asterisks crudely highlighted.
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:footnote.jpg?600 |}}
 +
 +A: You can use an endnote.
 +
 +----
 +Q: For the book Fathered by God, there are some advertisements at the very end. I have copied the image of the one that is giving me trouble. I was a little unsure how to format this and if the text at the top should be a heading, or possible a subheading of the 'Where do I go from here?' section that directly proceeds it (I had also wondered if the cover images here are decorative but from a previous question I see that they are, phew!). Thanks!
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:fatheredquestion.jpg?400 |}}
 +
 +A: You can remove these advertisements.
 +

 +
 +Q: In the book Resilient: Restoring your Weary Soul in these Turbulent Times, there are short sections between two adjacent chapters. Their headings are in capital (see example). It seems that they are not the sub-headings within each chapter. Could you please suggest how to define their level of heading? Thanks.
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:resilient_3.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: These are subheadings. Style them in the correct heading hierarchy. See You can learn more about headings at [[public:nnels:etext:headings|Understanding and Using Headings]].
 +----
 +Q: In the book Resilient: Restoring your Weary Soul in these Turbulent Times, there are asterisk notes in text and annotations without headings at the end of the book. Could I mark these asterisks as normal endnotes and add a heading 1 “Annotations” for these annotations?
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:resilient_4.png?400 |}}
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:resilient_5.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: We never put headings in the endnote section. You can format these into the endnotes of the document. There is documentation on this found on the [[public:nnels:etext:notes|Footnotes / Endnotes page]].
 +----
 +Q: In the book Resilient: Restoring your Weary Soul in these Turbulent Times, there are short paragraphs separated by the above and bottom lines (See image below please). It seems that they are in the narrative flow. Could I put content breaks above and bottom each aside section, instead of using a textbox? Thanks!
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:resilient_1.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: These are styled as textboxes in the original. Please reformat them in the Word document as [[public:nnels:etext:textboxes_and_sidebars|textboxes]].
 +
 +----
 +Q: In the book Resilient: Restoring your Weary Soul in these Turbulent Times, there are many aside sections “Skill” (See attached image below). Should I use content breaks above and below each aside section? Or can I use the textbox?
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:resilient_2.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: These are not asides, they are subsections. Format as a heading that following the heading hierarchy of the chapter. It is also a split heading, so you will have to format it as: ''Skills: Receiving the River of Life''. You can learn more about headings at [[public:nnels:etext:headings|Understanding and Using Headings]].
 +
 +----
 +Q: In Chapter 38 of the novel Where White Horses Gallop there is a recipe (as seen in the attached image) between two paragraphs. I wasn't sure what additional formatting I should do here - at first I had put the ingredients in an unordered list but then wondered if the whole thing should be instead styled as a blockquote. Thanks!
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:whitehorses_chapter38_recipe.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: Format the ingredients as list, and add the phrase "List of Ingredients" before the list.We can't have complex formatting within a blockquote, but in this example the reader can still understand what is going on without the blockquote style, and that list formatting is important.
 +
 +----
 +
 +
 +Q: It's Bouquet Not Bucket Formatting
 +
 +On page 117 to 119, the author includes a section of his own proposal for an episode and it's followed by the actual episode script. I'm not sure how to format this section in particular, if it is a block quote due to the way it's introduced or I just apply Heading 2 style to "Suggestion for a Keeping Up Appearances special."
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:page118.jpg?400 |}}
 +There is another example of this on page 152, where the author proposes his own version for a TV episode and follows it with what was actually aired.
 +
 +A: Styling as normal with the headings is good! Both versions have headings.
