I was recently asked to make a chapter of a manual for my company as an
Addendum, and nobody here seemed to know how to make chapter titles and
chapter lettering for it. I was wondering if anyone out there knew if there
is a style for this? What I mean is the Appendix is A, B, C etc, and each
Chapter is 1, 2, 3, etc but what is the Addendum? it cannot be A, since the
appendix is, and both need to be included in the manual. Any help would be
greatly appreciated! or even a point to a book or reference. This sort of
thing is harder for me since I am a programmer by nature and have not had a
lot of formalized training in writing.
