People have made several useful suggestions for stripping headers with
global search and replace, but even so I always remove them manually as I
read through the book. For me, removing them manually just feels safer.
Sometimes I go through the text page by page and remove the headers before
reading the book; that way the text reads more smoothly and without
interruption. But either way, I remove them one by one!
But I do proofread fewer books than many of you do.

Thanks, Jamie. I have suggested this before. Oftentimes, there is a tab
after the header and before the page number on the right page, and a tab
before the header and after the page number on the left page. I have used
this technique of removing headers with their associated tabs to eliminate
thousands of headers without fear of removing text that I shouldn't.
It is also true, as you say, that search and replace should always be used
with care.

Lots of times there is a tab after the header. If you search for the text
plus a tab you might have better luck in doing a global replace, but I
recommend using a global replace very carefully.
For example if it is The Catcher in the Rye that is the header look for
The Catcher in the Rye^t (^t is the tab symbol in Word 2003).
