How annoying that would be!
I should have left in the post to which I was
commenting. I meant my post to respond to Jill's
comment about checking with the submitter before
removing the headers, or to people who felt that
because the headers are in the print book maybe they
should be left in. I meant only to indicate that I
don't think most readers of print books pay attention
to the headers and so no one should worry about
deleting them. As you point out, they definitely need
to be deleted for bookshare members' reading pleasure.
smile Sorry I wasn't more clear.
