Someone suggested when this thread was brought up before that they spell out
the chapter numbers, as in "one" and that this will protect them.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] page numbers
That's interesting -- and scary. I've been doing what
Guido had said a long time ago to do -- put the page
number on the first line (when it's at the top of the
page and not at the bottom), skip a line, and then
start the text. Supposedly the stripper only strips
repeated words, and the page number would be different
on each page. With a new chapter.
