No. Please continue submitting. An original unstripped copy of the book is maintained for archival purposes. So there is no harm submitting books with normalized headers. While the book will be published with its headers temporarely stripped, the archival copy may be used in the future to generate a 'kinder gentler' published copy. This operation would be done in batch and will not require human sweat, but only a modicum of electricity. G. Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

As it stands, page numbers will be stripped, and then the books will have to be repaired. Sounds like a lot of extra work for the Bookshare staff.

PLESE LETS NOT BE INVENTIVE. If you put two page numbers on the same page eventually both of them will be back on the book, regardless what you do. All Bookshare books will eventually be reworked to conform to standards. At that time a brand new treatment will be made for all page headers. Stripped headers are not gone forever. They are still in the archival copy. Just be patient. Guido Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx. Research Division, Phone: 512. 838. 9735.

I could put a page number on the same line with the text, AND put one with a blank line at either side, in the hope that at least one would survive. Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Guido Corona To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 7:40 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Page Stripping Update NO, its the other way around. If you insist keeping the page number, there should be no blank line between the page number and the main text of the book. But considering Bookshare will reimplement its header/page-number stripping strategy, I do invite you to continue placing page numbers on isolated lines followed by a blank line if at the top, or preceeded by a blank line if at the bottom. When the new methodology is in place end users will likely be able to decide by themselves whether to keep strip page numbers. G. G. Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

Is this true?

We need a 'partial stripper'. Actually in most states total stripping is illegal, so G-character-string rules should be enforceable as well on K1K. Jokes aside, I will make that suggestion to the K1K development team. To optionally leave page numbers intact, that is. Guido Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

Unfortunately there is no way yet to strip headers without stripping numbers. Kellie
