- Allison, The only way to get rid of the junk or, as the spell-check posts say, words which are spelled correctly but are inappropriate for the context, is to read the book and correct as you go. Then you can do a final spell-check, when you've finished, as a double-check. If you don't want to do that, release the book and let someone else do it. As far as the page numbers go: I checked Amazon.com. They now have a feature with some books that you can look at inside pages. I don't know whether you have the hardbound edition or the paperback edition, nor do I know what from edition I was looking at the pages, because it said "to see inside another edition," but I don't think it really matters a whole lot. Anyway, when I looked inside, I was able to see the first 3 pages of the first chapter (I didn't bother to go further).The first page of the chapter was un-numbered. The next two pages had the page numbers at the top. So what you can do, if you want and you decide to read the book, is to put a page break just before the page number; delete the heading but leave the page number; make a line space; and then continue the text. This might sond onerous but it really takes only few seconds. I've done this with books that had no page breaks. If you want, and you tell me which edition it is you're working with, I can get the book from the library and let you know for sure where the page numbers are, but I'm pretty sure that paperback editions follow the same design as the hardbound -- and anyway, as I said, I don't really think it matters where the numbers are as long as they're there.

I am currently validating The Reluctant Suitor by Cathleen E. Woodiwiss. It was given a fair rating on the download page and I'd like to clean it up a bit. The problem is that the author's name and the page number seem to be appearing at the top of each page. It would be okay if It even seems to split certain words in two. As a subscriber, I know that I wouldn't want to read a book with so much unnecessary text randomly appearing throughout a book. How do I fix this problem? The book is in txt format. There were no indications that the page numbers were headers of footers.
