No, that's not my job.  The first page is merely a front cover with the book 
and my details, then the pages should have a header with my name, the name of 
the book and the page number starting at '1'.  Standard manuscript style, in 
other words.  The master document is new for me since I began the first 
re-write, and quickly saw how much easier it would be to handle each chapter 
separately and incorporate it into a master document rather than using cut and 
paste or some method of re-writing a chapter in situ.
