--- Comment #12 from Lee <aussief...@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the explanation. it is unfortunate that each chapter has to be opened separately to see and edit it vs being able to see the chapter data for the whole file at the same time without having to open each chapter separately if anyone needs to do a lot of editing of chapter data this could become needlessly time consuming imagine if you needed to change the capitalisation of the 1st character of each chapter as an example? in one format it is significantly easier to perform compared to the other....
