If the page numbers are at the bottom of the page you definitely have 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.

Good response Cindy, I also put a row of ********* above the Chapter title, to give um, the stripper something to eat so it leaves my chapter numbers alone! Shelley L.

Mary Anne, I was hoping someone else would reply to your question, but no one has so far, so here goes. (I say that because I don't explain things as clearly as some others do). Bookshare has automatic stripper (which we all keep hoping will strip itself and 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 take out words that are repeated exactly, on the first line, and so it will delete the word Chapter unless something is put on the line in front of the word. I think it takes out page numbers if the header is on the same line. So we who scan or validate usually remove the headers by oursleves, put a line space and then the page number and then another space, and thus, because the page number is always different on every page, the word chapter, which is usually a couple of lines below the page number, is preserved.

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.
