I am having basically the same problem myself. I am trying to remove the headers and footers from an EPUB but nothing happens.

Fisrt I tried converting from EPUB to EPUB. I tested the regular expression using the wizard button and what I wanted removed was nicely highlighted. After doing the conversion the book looked exactly the same.

Then I thought the conversion should be between different formats so I went from EPUB to LIT. The resulting LIT still had the headers and footers.

Then I removed the EPUB and kept the LIT. Tested the regular expression again and everything was again highlighted in yellow. Did the conversion from LIT to EPUB and a new EPUB was created but the headers and footers were all there.

I tried the same but filling the replace box with XXXXXXXXXXXX searched for that in the resulting file but it was not there. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Is there a flag somewhere that turns off search and replace during conversion? Anything else I can try?
