Kim! Unless the Headers and/or authors names are in all caps, I'd suggest you delete them manually. If you do a global find and replace, you may inadvertently delete content that should be in the book. When I proofread, I generally just remove them as I go, since I read the book anyway. Just my thought. *smile* Blessings.

When I got to the actual stories, I find the odd numbered pages have the story titles as the header while the even numbered pages have the author's name. How can I get rid of the excess headers while still retaining the header with the story title plus the author byline on the first page of each story? If I can avoid deleting all of them manually, that would save me from some repetitious work. Please, folks, don't give me a capsule description of how to do this because I think it's likely I might not understand what I should do. Be as detailed as possible, filling in the who, what, when, where, why, and how (in other words, please fill in any gap you can think of.). Your help is needed because time's flying and I want the book to look nice.
