By chapter header I mean the grand title at the beginning of each chapter,
which should be kept, at the top of the page, followed by at least one
blank line.
You may want two split the chapter header on two consecutive lines. E.g.:
CHAPTER
ONE
Occurrences of any chapter title in subsequent page headers should be
stripped.

Hi,
Thanks for this info, so far. I am currently working
on a novel and as I'm over half way through it, I
think I may leave the page numbers off on this one. I
can certainly see the benefit to having them on a
scholarly text.
By 'chapter header' - do you mean the chapter title
that starts the chapter - or the chapter name that
appears in the corners of every page on some books?
I'm definitely making sure that the first page of each
chapter has the chapter number and name before the
beginning of that chapter's text, but I've been
removing it from the top of every page, as I've been
doing with page numbers.
