Kelly C., I don't know how to answer your first question. Theoretically, if the headers are different, the stripper should leave them alone, as theoretically it only removes things that are repeated. I've been told that it doesn't matter how far down a header or word is, if it's the first word on the page, the stripper will get it. A one point I put the word header on the top line on each page for the stripper to take. I did it by copying the word and then pasting it, so I wouldn't have to retype it -- but someone mentioned a macro, so maybe you could use that. If you have something on the top line that repeats, then I'd leave a line space or two before your real header. It's o.k.. to have the page numbers at the bottom. Just leave a line space betwee the page number and the text and another one between the number and the page break. Good luck!! It's quite a chore you're undertaking, and I'm sure it is appreciated. Yes, you can change the font to whatever you want. I only recently discovered the magnifier, so now I leave the font, which usually is courier new or times roman or times, and make it larger to read. But I used to change what I was validating into New York or Verdana. I have a feeling it doesn't matter--that bookshare changes it to something standard. I think I asked once but never got a reply.
