Thanks, Cindy.
I don't know much about the stripper.
Just the old record I had in the 1960's by David Rose.  It was a big hit.
Razza ma tazzy big brass and drums.  (grin)

Okay, I'm glad to hear that putting the word chapter in front of the chapter
number sounds okay.

I have put the word chapter, though not in all caps,
on the line before the number, in order to protect the
number from the automatic stripper. I also go down
several lines and sometimes, if the book does, put the
chapter number mid-page. But if the stripper is
stripping that word, I'd be happy to put the word
chapter in front of the number, too. I wouldn't think
it a problem, since we close up hyphenated words at
the ends of lines and pages.

From a stripper point of view, I don't understand why
the stripper strips the numbers, since they are
different, but no one really undrstands the stripper.
Maybe when Jennifer starts work the stripper is one of
the problems she can solve.
