Hi Kellie,

All I can comment on is my experience with my submissions that I have later downloaded from Bookshare and read . Plus other submissions that I have downloaded. Two examples of the first are Thieves Dozen and Cheapskate. I downloaded them in Kurzweil, which chooses the Daisy format. Both retained the chapter headings and page numbering.
There were no headings, since I had removed them.
About other people's submissions I've downloaded, using Kurzweil and more recently, Bookport, the pages were numbered and there were no garbled headers. Perhaps I have been lucky in choosing books that had all headers stripped by the valadater, but I doubt it.
Maybe the book is run through the stripper a number of times to catch the junk, I don't know. I do not doubt that others have problems with the stripper, but so far I have not.
I will now return to scanning Motive For Murder, which I will submit in the next several days.
I feel all of us on this list should be proud of what we have contributed to a extremely worthy project.

Hi Jim,
I think everyone agrees with you about nonsensical header gap. <grin>
Unfortunately, it's those mangled headers that *don't* get stripped by the
stripper. When the headers are nice and neat and uniform they, along with
page numbers and chapter headings, get munched without a second thought.
Which leaves all of us, lovers and haters of headers alike, stuck with this
junk that isn't useful even to those of us who may actually need info from
those headers.
