Don't use the header stripper in open Book. It will only work if the book is 
less than about 150 pages. After that, it does some really screwy things to 
the text.

Robert,

I have a question about the headers.  I am afraid to use the header/footer
stripper in my Openbook...should I be doing this with all my scans?  I am
afraid I will distort the text.  Thanks in advance.
