HI Julie,
That is how I generally do it when I validate. Add the generic header over
the chapter name. Gotta keep the stripper happy

Hi, Rik. Whether the page numbers are at the top or bottom doesn't matter,
but they should be consistent. If the page numbers are at the bottom of the
page at the beginning of each chapter but at the top with the rest of the
headers throughout the rest of the book, yes, move the page numbers that are
at the bottom to the top, but if they're consistent throughout the book, no
matter where they are, you can just leave them alone. For me personally, I
leave the headers in so I can paste a header at the top of each page where a
new chapter starts. That protects the chapter title. The stripper will
remove the headers, or if they're scanned properly and are consistent, at
least it's supposed to, so that's why I keep them in, so I'll have something
to go on to protect the chapter titles so they don't get munched, too.
<smile> Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Headers question for scanning
I have a question for scanning books for submission.
As I understand it, there is something called a stripper, which looks to the
top of each page for the page number, and strips out the text that is there,
which is usually repeated text like title on one page, chapter title or
author on the other.
Since as a listening reader to this book, the repetitive text is not really
essential and mostly just a distraction from the narrative, I like the Daisy
books I have downloaded from Bookshare where the page numbers are all that I
hear. I figure this must be a recent thing, since many other Bookshare
books I have read do have the header text in there.
Now, my queistion -- Should we as scanners of the book remove this text?
I have heard folks talk about moving page numbers to top of page. But I
have not heard yet if we should remove the text.
Hoping to start scanning The Big Bam, the new biography of Babe Ruth this
weekend.
If this is so, perhaps it could be stated in the information for the new
Bookshare members when they begin to scan and submit to our collection.
Thanks.
Rik
