Unless I am misunderstanding your message, you should not take out the word chapter. Carrie has said to type the chapter skip a line and leave the chapter so and so as it is. This is for the cases where page numbers are at the bottom.
When page numbers are at the top add the page number at the top to follow the rest of the book.
It strips chapter title because it's a repeated word throughout the text. ***** GracePlease sponsor me in the march for independence, Walk for Opportunity in Dallas Texas. Any amount will help, no matter how small.

So if I take out the word "Chapter" the page will be safe, including the name of the chapter. But doesn't that mean that Bob's suggestion about putting a row of junk characters above the line that says "Chapter one" will result in a page that has a row of junk characters, because the Stripper won't recognize the junk characters as something to gobble up? Would it be within our agreement not to change words if I just remove the word "chapter" from a chapter page?

That and the fact that headers and footers rarely scan perfectly throughout the book are why many submitters and validators strip headers, tedious as it is. However, Jake once said something about pages that begin with the word Chapter having their first line stripped, too. Misha Devorah Greenstein wrote:
Okay, what I don't understand is if I'm validating a book with page numbers are at the bottom (which I'm doing now), why the Stripper does not strip away the top line of text on every page if it so
determinedly
chomps away a chapter name which only looks like a line of text to the Stripper. (I think capitalizing the 'S' in Stripper makes it sound
more
animate and intentional.) Why don't I have to protect the top line of text if I have to put asterisks or other junk text above a chapter name that only appears once?

to
put something like the *********** at the top of pages with section/chapter/story names (as the first reader found out all too painfully from a book I recently validated *groan*). You would think this stripper would know that the first time a new header comes up it is a title to be kept. But no, it's outa there
with
that title unless you give it something else above the title to
remove.
Also, if there is a page number with nothing else on the same line at the top of the page, that too will protect chapter names. Misha Shelley Rhodes wrote:Good response Cindy, I also put a row of ********* above the Chapter title, to give um,

Mary Anne, I was hoping someone else would reply to yourquestion, butno one has so far, so here goes. (I say that because I don't explainthingsas clearly as some others do). Bookshare has automatic stripper (which we all keep hoping will stripitselfand disappear). It's intended to automatically delete headers, but it doesn't do a very good job of that. It's intended, I think, to takeoutwords that are repeated exactly, on the first line, and so it willdeletethe word Chapter unless something is put on the line in front of theword. Ithink it takes out page numbers if the header is on the same line. Sowe whoscan or validate usually remove the headers by oursleves, put a linespaceand then the page number and then another space, and thus, because
the
pagenumber is always different on every page, the word chapter, which isusuallya couple of lines below the page number, is preserved. HTH G.CindySubject: [bksvol-discuss] Protecting chapter anemes/page numbers To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, May 8, 2008, 7:12 AM Could someone please explain what is meant by protecting chapter names and page numbers? I've seen this but can't find what it means. I'm in the process of scanning a few books for submission so I'd like to do it right.
