Hi Everyone!
I, like Bob, used Kurzweil to look at the daisy files.
We know that page numbers properly extracted for daisy navigation
will not show up using Kurzweil. I can learn. That nonexistence of page
numbers when reading daisy books in Kurzweil was explained to me quite a
while back, and I accept that it is a Kurzweil issue.
Remember that the books proofread by Laura Ann did not have chapter
headings protected by a page number and blank line preceding the chapter
title.
See below for what I found. Not completely helpful. But heartening in most
respects.
I'll follow the results with my dubious conclusions.

WEIGHT WATCHERS
Cook Quick Cook Healthy

No stripped titles.
My Conclusions
The stripper is doing a better job! Asterisks before chapter titles
just clutter up the line on which the chapter heading appears. I won't use
them any longer. I'll simply precede chapter headings by the page number
followed by a blank line.
