Jana,
Sorry to hear you're an evacuee.  But what dedication, to bring your
Bookshare stuff with you!

You seem to be saying that you are protecting page numbers with stars.  You
should not.  The stripper needs the page numbers to be recognizable so it
can put them in the file for Daisy readers (us non-Daisy users are just out
in the cold.)  As I understand it, the page number must be on the first, or
last, line of a page, with a blank line below it, or above it, if it's on
the bottom.  Then, the stripper is supposed to recognize it and, yes, strip
it, putting it into some place for Daisy to see.

What I do with headers, as a validator, is cut out the text portion, and
leave the page number, then make sure the number is at the top, with a blank
line under it, or at the bottom, with a blank line before it.  Clear as Mud?  

What you did with chapter headings sounds fine.
Tracy

headings and page numbers with asterisks.  The chapter headings have
asterisks on the very top line of the page, followed by a blank line.  The
page numbers, which are at the bottom of the page, are followed by a blank
line and then about five asterisks.

headers, replacing them with asterisks?  I know we've about discussed this
one to death, but since I don't have all of the BookShare posts on my
laptop, and since I've had just a few things on my mind other than Bookshare
for the past week and a half, I thought I'd see if someone could refresh my
memory.  Thanks!
