In the case of Dragons of Autumn Twilight he created a macro so this header
was consistent throughout the entire book. And yet the stripping tool took
out only half the header. I validated the book so I know what the final
product was like.

The reason why the stripper leaves half lines and appears to be
inconsistent is because the headers themselves aren't consistent. If
headers don't match from page to page, the stripper will have trouble
picking up a pattern. Page numbers are the only part of the header that is
allowed to be different.
When page numbers are inserted into the DAISY navgation structure, they do
not appear visibly in the text. So those of you who may have been looking
for the page numbers in the text, you were probably disappointed. The
reading tool should provide the choice of whether ou wish to hear page
numbers as you are reading along and it being visible as well. That is
something that the user agent should address and not part of the structure.

Excellent idea! This problem has been addressed before. Hopefully the engineers are working on it. I think most everyone said they'd like the automatic stripper te be eliminated.

Hello Cindy and all,
I would think that instead of all of us trying to out guess the stripper and since in reality we are the consumers of the final product... Have the folks at the main office give us some A-B-C's of how the software works and we come up with a joint process that best server the end users.

I've decided just to put the word header on the first line, skip a line and put the page number, then skip a line and start the text. Has this worked for anyone? I hadn't paid much attention to the problem, assuming that what I'd been doing had been preserving the chapter titles, until Grace downloaded a book for me and told me chapter titles and page numbers were gone.
