Glad to hear it worked. At this point I suggest creating a separate clean copy with all changes accepted or rejected and use that as the next draft of the chapter for others to review or edit. After the accept/reject step, clean up any paragraph styles that accidentally went wrong (headings especially), remove leftover blank paragraphs, and so on, before finishing the draft.
