You can leave in the headers as long as they scanned well so they are
pretty consistent, which is the only way that the software recognizes and
removes them automatically. You can remove them if you would like. Just
leave page numbers in. On pages where a new chapter begins at the top of
the page you should type in the page number at the top of the page and then
hit return a couple of times. This is because the header stripper will be
confused and remove the chapter title if there is no header of some kind
above it. It sees that the word chapter or the number recurs on many pages
and decides the chapter title is a header. If there is already a page
number or header on that page it is no longer looking for soming repeated
to strip.
I hope that helps and is written clearly enough. I'm in a hurry to go eat
now. <grin>

Hi, Jana. Thanks for your advice. I use Openbook 7 for scanning and have added a lot of OCR corrections to its list so that I am getting better scans now. A lot of books have headers. Am I supposed to retain those or remove them? Hyphenated words seem to be the most problematic part, and Openbook has no way of fixing those automatically. I'm thinking that I might have an easier time spellchecking using Microsoft word. I can see I have a lot to learn, and I'm excited about being able to help out here. <smile>
