Sorry, Gerald, you're right. I was thinking about the pages where the
chapter title is the first line at the top of the page, and it is necessary
to "trick" the stripper into leaving it alone. <Smile> But even then, now
that I think about it, I put the page number on the top line, where it's
supposed to be. I think I used to put the asterisks there during one of the
discussions about seeing page numbers in Bookshare books or having them
deleted. There was some confusion about that for a while. Take care!

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!

Hi,
Is there any easy way to remove the titles from the top of the page? Also often the page number is on the same line and would be erased at the same time . At 10:12 AM 4/14/2006, you wrote:In my opinion, removing headers is the responsibility of the scanner,
particularly when Bookshare's stripper does such an uncertain job. I think
this is especially necessary because, as you said, these headers are often
not consistent. I have done this when validating but it is not a requirement and is time consuming. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bud Schwab" <budschwab@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 8:05 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] title on each page
Hi Gang,
So often when scanning a book the title or author is at the top of each
page and often the author's name is not complete like it might be in some
kind of fancy print. Is there any easy way I can delete all those
jumbled names or is that done by the validator? I do rank spelling check
and try to catch all the divided words, but that has always bugged me about the garbage at the top of the pages. Thanks.
