NO, its the other way around. If you insist keeping the page number, there should be no blank line between the page number and the main text of the book. But considering Bookshare will reimplement its header/page-number stripping strategy, I do invite you to continue placing page numbers on isolated lines followed by a blank line if at the top, or preceeded by a blank line if at the bottom. When the new methodology is in place end users will likely be able to decide by themselves whether to keep strip page numbers. G. G. Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

Is this true?

We need a 'partial stripper'. Actually in most states total stripping is illegal, so G-character-string rules should be enforceable as well on K1K. Jokes aside, I will make that suggestion to the K1K development team. To optionally leave page numbers intact, that is. Guido Guido Dante Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

Unfortunately there is no way yet to strip headers without stripping numbers. Kellie
