Thanks Lisa. I wasn't sure if there was a way to do them all at once so it's good to know the process for getting rid of them individually.

Hi, Christina.

Once you've found the heading, you can select it and delete it using the
usual Windows keystrokes. For example, if your header is on the first line with the page number at the right side of the margin, you can press the End key to get to the last number of the page number, and then use your left arrow to move past the page number. Then use the Shift+Home combination to select to the beginning of the line. Then you just press delete and voila, the nasty header is gone.
If the page number is at the left, use the Home key to find it and use the right arrow key to move past the page number. Press Shift+End to select the rest of the line and press delete.
Some people use the search and replace feature of Word or the remove headers function of Kerzweil to do this, but since I read the book as I go, I strip the headers by hand as I 
progress.
I hope these keystrokes make since. Just ask if you have questions. Someone else may have a different system if they use a later version of Word or the current versions of either OpenBook or Kerzweil.

How do you strip headings?
I saw this was mentioned in the volunteers' manual but it didn't describe
the process or, if it did, I missed it entirely.

Hi, all.

Here's what I do to protect chapter headings and page numbers when I
validate.

I make sure the book title appears as the first line on the page before
the page number or chapter title.  Sometimes, if there's a blank line
between the preceding page break and book title, the stripper will strip
the blank line and leave the book title before the chapter number or
title.  But, of course, as with anything dealing with the infamous
stripper, this isn't a hard or fast occurrence.

If the book has page numbers on the bottom I keep them as is.  I put a
blank line between the last line of text, and another one before the page 
break.

if the page number appears at the top of the page, I put a blank line
immediately after the page break and then insert another one after the
page number.  I also insert a blank line after the last line of text on
the preceding page if the page numbers are on the top just in case the
stripper is feeling frisky that day.

In cases where page numbers appear at the top, even at the beginning of
chapters, I insert the book title, then a blank line, then the page
number followed by another blank line, and finally the chapter number or
title.

As far as I can tell, this seems to keep page numbers from being gobbled
by the stripper or winding up at the end of lines in HTML files. It also 
seems to preserve chapter titles.

I suppose I could use the word chapter or put asterisk or something
before the chapter headings, but inserting the chapter title seems to
work for me and the submitter.

I don't think there's going to be any set in stone rulings on how to
preserve chapter titles or page numbers until the stripper is revamped or 
done away with completely.
