This may be a newbie question, but what is meant by protecting page
numbers and chapter headings? What text would otherwise be vulnerable?
I'm asking this from the point of view of a proofreader. By the time
the contents gets to me, either the headings are there or they are
not. Same with page numbers. When I see the RTF, there isn't much I
can do to those except for ensuring they are on their own lines (page
numbers).
Thanks for clarifying.
