I should add to this a bit:
For books I scan that I plan to read through, I don't want to be reading along
and find that at some point in the midst of the story that I missed two pages.
So I want to make certain that no pages are missing before I start.
Also, I scan a lot of books for Lissi that I don't necessarily want to read
myself. I very much want to make sure that I haven't missed any pages in those.
So keeping the page numbers is important to me to ensure that the book has all
of its pages, whether I'm reading it, or I've scanned it for someone else to
read.
If I could find some way of not scanning the headers without removing the page
numbers when they are at the top of the page, that would be perfect.

Hi Jamie,
I have created margins to eliminate headers before. But I do it only when the
page number is at the bottom of the page. The reason is that if I miss a
page--or two pages if I'm scanning in two-page mode--How would I find the
missing pages? It may perhaps be very easy with sight to flip through the book
and compare with the text on the screen and quickly find what's missing. But
for someone without sight, even someone such as myself who has an Optacon, I
think that would be a painful and time-consuming process in a book with a few
hundred pages. I suppose I could stop every ten or twenty pages or so and make
sure I haven't missed any. But that would defeat the convenience of being able
to scan many pages without touching the keyboard, as I can do with K1000. So,
if the page numbers are at the tops of pages, I prefer to not marginalize the
headers out of the scan and eliminate them with a few judicious search and
replace operations, if I can, or take them out manually, if I must..

I prefer not to OCR the headers to begin with. Omnipage will skip headers
if you tell it to, or if you're sighted, you can just not select the text with
the header to be OCR'd to begin with. That's what I do. Then I have to put in
the page numbers by hand of course, but I find it is good for checking to make
sure I've scanned all of the pages.
