Given the aggressive nature of the stripper, what I now intend to do is put
in the actual page number 2 lines above the chapter heading, assuming that
page numbers are on top. In theory, this should prevent the stripper from
getting her greedy little hands on the chapter headings. *grin*
However, I wonder how the stripper treats headings in books that have page
numbers at the bottom of the page?
