Donna,
I forgot to mention something. Last month Marissa sent out a general
survey asking for using input about whether they like/dislike the header
stripper. You can probably still way in on the issue and can write
volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with your opinion. Whoever gets the mail can file it
along with the rest.
If you'd like the actual survey, let me know and I'll dig it out from my
archive.
Jake

Hi E.

Well, I think they are to numerous to name. But I can say that I have
two
books by Luanne Rice, Blue Moond and Dream Country, neither of which have
chapter titles. In addition, I have downloaded the first four Janet
Evanovich Stephanie Plum novels, and none of them have chapter titles. I
recently downloaded a book by Roberta Bondi called A Place to Pray, and it
didn't have any chapter headings. I think this is just the tip of the
iceberg, but these are a few.
Best,
Donna
