My apologies for taking so long in making up some examples. Unfortunately, everything I thought of had problems.
I cannot send these out as attachments, so I will send out two messages, the first header will be "Before Example" and the second header will be "After Example."
This example should not be regarded as one for correct establishment of heading or BT, although I included a common error with cross references.
Nor should the topic be regarded as indicative of my personal life style preferences.
