Cindy,

The current job of the Stripper is to process the page numbers, so if you
try to protect them by playing with the header, then you are hurting the
quality of the book, not helping it.  Feel free to strip the text from the
headers/footers, but don't add any text above or below the page number to
prevent the Stripper from recognizing them.  Remember that the Stripper
doesn't actually strip them.  It just moves them to another part of the
DAISY book.

Gerald,

From what you say, then, I gather we can delete
headers manually without worrying about the page
numbers being stripped? We don't have to put in some
artificial heading?
