OK, here's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing boolks with garbage at the top 
of each page, page numbers, headers, you name it. I don't think the 
stripper is all it's cut out to be. I have not looked at anything I 
ever validated; maybe I should. I used to take numbers out at the 
bottoms and put them all at the tops, I don't anymore because they are 
at the bottom in the print. If the first page of the chapter has the 
number at the bottom, then I do take it out and put at the top of the 
page if the rest of the pages are that way. If my books are not coming 
out right, then maybe I should rethink it, but it has sure caused me a 
lot less stress. The book I am validating right now, "The Source", has 
blank lines at the top of the pages and then the numbers. I'm leaving 
it alone. I don't see where it has to be this difficult.

Ouch ouch. Like Bob, I am more confused now. Plus I don't have the
benefit of ever experiencing what these books are like after I 
validate
them because I'm sighted. So it's like dropping many hours of work 
into
a black hole and hoping for the best. And I, like many of you guys, am 
a
perfectionist. So I go over every word, check spellings in weird 
foreign
names, check everything, make it as perfect as I can, and upload it.

But then what is happening to my work?

I always do the wonderful ^p^m^p thing so that there are blank lines 
on
either side of the page breaks. But I have NOT been re-typing each 
page
number on the top of a page if the page numbers are at the bottom.

I have left page numbers at the bottom of the page. Am I now correct 
in
my understanding that they all get wiped out? Even if there is a blank
line between the page number and the following page break?

I do put a page number on the top of the first page of a chapter. It
just makes sense to do that. But is it mandatory put all other page
numbers at the top of each page?

If the mysterious stripper is so smart can't it tell numeric 
characters
from alphabetic characters and leave numeric page numbers at the 
bottom
of the page?
