Pam, I think I have solved this problem, By deleting all the blank lines between a chapter heading and the text. My understanding is the stripper has to have a blank line to strip, so remove the blank line and it appears to be protected. Could someone let me know if this worked, or I shall get creative, smile. But it appeared to work, so... smile. Some books that it has it done to it are.

I downloaded the .brf and the daisy files, and they're all gone in the .brf file, and only two or three are still present in the Daisy file. Apparently since the header stripper sees Chapter, repeatedly at the beginning of lines, it must just strip them. I can't figure any other way around this unless something can be implemented in the software at bookshare, telling it to leave lines that begin with Chapter alone. Pam
