page headers/footers
Does anyone know an easy/efficient way to delete the headers/footers found repetitively on some book pages such as the author name/book title and page numbers?

1 John Smith 2 John Smith 3 John Smith and so forth... I don't really know how to create the expression I need. I can certainly replace all the John Smith(s). But can't think of an efficient way to remove the incremental page numbers, even with wildcards. I can't seem to figure out how to write the required expression. |

Use: [0-9]* John Smith Apparently word doesn't like the \s for blank space.. you can just type the blank space. Also, make sure you click on the "Use wildcards" checkbox. You might have to click the "More" button to see it. This basically means find any character between 0-9. The asterisk means find one or more. So this will match 1 John Smith and 10 John Smith Of course the J means match a J the o means match o etc. I tested this regex on a document that contains: 1 John Smith 2 John Smith 32 John Smith And it worked.

I've decided that headers/footers in eBooks are useless. What they do is take up space on the screen and give us less lines per screen and what they does is cause more page turns per book and that causes more battery usage. So we end up with having to charge more often.
As for headers, we should know what book we are reading and as for footers, it's just not worth it. Plus, I find they don't look all that good. |

Why should you know what book you are reading? The way you learn the title of a paper book is that you see it each time you pick up the book. I definitely need headers to get this functionality for E-books. Still I have noticed that I do not learn the title of the ebooks I read as well as for paper books.

I use a free tool called "The regulator" to write and test my regexs. However, as you have found the word syntax is a bit relaxed vs the parser that the regulator uses. I would just say click on Find Next all the way through to be sure it is matching what you want before you go crazy. BOb |
