Allison,
What Cindy was referring to is that I recently downloaded two books which
Cindy validated and checked the results for her.
One of them contained no running headers and footers, and, therefore, no
page numbers since page numbers would have qualified as either a running
header or footer. It also did not contain any chapter headings. Cindy had
placed the word 'header' at the top of every page, and for some reason this
had confused the Stripper, possibly due to the lack of page numbers, and the
word 'header' had not been stripped.
The second book had chapter headings and running headers, along with page
numbers at the bottom of the page which would qualify for a running footer.
In this book Cindy had placed a shortened version of the title at the top of
every page, and this worked on the pages which contained a running header.
She also added her decoy header to pages like the title page, though, and
the Stripper failed to remove them from those pages, again, possibly due to
the lack of page numbers on the page.
Based on these two test cases, which I grant isn't much to go on, I
recommended to Cindy that she not create a running header for books with no
running headers, running footers, or chapter headings, and to not add them
to every page in books with chapter headings and page numbers at the bottom
of the page, but no running headers.

Allison,
What you're doing is what I've been doing based on
Gerald's advice and his downloading and checking a
couple books I validated. I was putting a a word, like
part of the book, or the word page, on the top line,
but he said that wasn't necessary. For page numbers
that are at the bottom of thepage I skip a lnte
between the text and the page number and the page
number and the page break.
Since I can't download books, I don't know if what
we're doing works, for sure. A Spanish Lover and The
World's Best True Ghost Stories are the last ones I
valdiated or submitted with page numbers at the top,
and Cloudy Jewel and Adora are the last two I did that
had the page numbers at the bottom, in case you want
to check to see if the page numbers were retained. If
you find out that they were not, I'll go back to
writing a word above the top page number and see if
that works.
