Just one caveat to add here. If you're going to experiment with using search and replace to remove headers, keep a back-up copy of your file. That way you can recover easily if the results of your replacing don't work as you'd planned. I use the method that Jamie and Evan do for most books. I'd be less likely to do it with a book of short stories though. I came to this decision the hard way. I was doing a volume of mysteries and used find and replace to strip the headers, making sure to include the tab character. I thought I'd outsmarted the book and would save lots of time. Unfortunately, there was an afterward, a list of copyright dates and publications for each story, and a bibliography at the end of the book. There were tabs between the titles and authors' names there. My replacing stripped out the author names as well as the titles that were referenced in the afterward. It wasn't my finest proofreading moment. I didn't realized what I'd done until I'd already put in a lot of additional work on the book. I had to start over, and that wasn't much fun. Now I keep a back-up copy of my file in a separate folder, and I make a saved back-up before doing any global replacing. Once I'm done proofreading, I save my proofread and original back-up file until it's approved by Carrie. That probably sounds a little obsessive. (grin) I despise doing work over, and this practice has saved my bacon several times. It takes 10 seconds to save a back-up file, and it could cost me 10 hours of work if I royally mess up something globally and have to start from scratch.
