Hi, Jess.
I usually put the numbers at the top of the page.
The formatting I use goes like this
Page break
Paragraph marker
page number
line break
text.
The easiest way to do this, if you're using MS Word, is to wait until just
before you submit the book
You can use the search and replace function and search for ^m which is the
code for a page break and replace it with ^p^m^p
I put a paragraph marker before the page break as well, just in case there
is any text at the very end.
The stripper is supposed to delete headers like title and author but it
doesn't always work so it's best to do it yourself.
I do this by first taking out all of the beginning and ending text of the
book like the page about the author, praise for other works, copyright
notices, and so on. I put those parts in other files labeled "Beginning
Book Name" and "End Book Name." So,, I'm left with just the actual text or
story of the book.
Then, I do a search and replace for the title and author and replace that
particular text with nothing. However, sometimes the headers are jumbled,
meaning that some of the characters are missing or replaced with junk
characters. You might also want to go page by page to make sure all of the
headers have been removed.
I got this tip from Donna and it works wonderfully.
HTH,
Christina

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about the placement of page numbers and
question about running headers.
Hi all,
For those of you that do not know, I am validating a book that
has two page numbers on some pages and none on some. I recognized
that the pages that had two numbers were meant for the pages that had
none. For instance, in the attached file, the first page has pages 12
and 13 on it, but no page numbers on the second page. It would be
logical for both pages to have numbers. I found out that I can fix
this problem. Now that I know that, my next question is: can I place
the numbers either at the beginning of the page or at the end?
In addition, I saw a posting on this list about running headers.
Are they things like the title and author?
Regards,
Jess
