Hi,

        Why not just start the find and replace at the first page of text
and be certain not to enable "start at top"?  That's what I do and have
never eliminated the front matter that was important.  Be careful if the
"about the author" section is at the back of the book and the author's name
is one of the headers.  It can get a little complicated, can't it?

She could put some sort of string of characters where she wants to keep the
author and title and then just fix that. Also, headers are usually formatted
a bit differently. In the case with books I've done this with, the title
page was left as it should be while otherheaders were stripped.

Look out!
 
If the book title or author is at the top of the pages, and you do as Alisa
says, you will erase every occurrence of the author and title, including
references in the front matter.
 
Someone else gave us a method of doing this without taking away from the
book. I'll see if I can find it and put it on the list.

        Hi Kristin,
         
        Try this. Copy one of the headers, paste it into the find box of
Word, and then don't put anything in the replace box. You can then do this
with the other header you notice as well. This should work for most of the
headers. However, if spacing is different on some of them, you may still
have to delete them manually. Doing this may place a space before the page
number, so you may want to check that as well. Hope this helps!

        Hey everyone! 
        Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic Friday! I have a quick
question for the list and any help would be very much appreciated and
welcomed. I'm currently proofing Her Favorite Holiday Gift, and every page
break either has the title of the book or the author next to the page
number. Is there any way with using window eyes and word 2003 to get rid of
all these headers but keep the page numbers and chapter headings? I don't
mind deleting them manually but if there is a way to delete all of them
without having to do it manually then I'd really appreciate knowing how to
do it. Thanks for everyone's help and I hope you all are having a
spectacular day! 
        Kristin
