[bksvol-discuss] Re: title on each page

Please don't put asterisks above page numbers.  If you go back and read the
volunteering instructions, you'll see that the tools expect the header to be
the first paragraph on the page, and page numbers are considered either a
header or a footer since they appear on the first or last line of a page in
the book, even if they aren't accompanied by text like the title or the
author.  Putting asterisks above them causes the header to be the second
paragraph not the first and prevents the tools from recognizing page
numbers.  This can not only cause navigation problems for software that is
used to read the DAISY books, but can cause the print page numbers which now
appear in the BRF books to be incorrect.

Hi, Bud!  I'm not sure if someone ever answered your question.  The easiest 
way to make sure that the page numbers are not deleted along with the 
headers is this.  First, figure out which end of the line contains the page 
number.  You will want to find it, and then if it's at the end of the line, 
right arrow past the number, and press Control-End to select to the end of 
the line.  Then press the Delete key.  If it's at the end of the line, left 
arrow to the space or character immediately before the number, and press 
Control-Home to select to the beginning of the line, and press the Delete 
key.

To protect page numbers or chapter titles, I usually put three asterisks at 
the top of the page, followed by a blank line.  I hope this info is helpful!

Jana
