Interesting. _With_ that "show format" on, deleting the carriage return worked. Previously I'd deleted the period and carriage returns until I got to the centered chapter number of the next chapter, deleted the letters to either side of the break I wanted, then retyped everything without CR but with the page break, and ended up back where I was before. Prior to that, I'd backspaced until I took the period away, then typed the period and entered the page break, no CR. Same business.

I think I may need to sprinkle some holy water on the computer.

Nice about the royalty check, but this book is the second one in queue. DRAGON'S EYE comes out this fall, no date set for DRAGON'S TEETH as yet.
