Thanks. My oversight. I had looked at the Search and Replace tab under Convert Books, but misunderstood the phrase "Regular Expressions," as it's a technical term for what in plain language means repeating expressions. That faq on PDFs helped, to a point.

I tried Mobipocket Creator, but it doesn't appear to recognize pdf's.

Ok, one of the new screenshots below shows how far I've come from the one in the OP; the other shows the underlying code in the PDF. The larger number is the chapter, which stays. The two pieces I've yet to figure out how to code as regular expressions are the small Chinese character and the number that follows (page), and the large graphic (below in the coding). For the first, getting rid of the Chinese character is no problem, but my attempts to get rid of the page numbers with brackets e.g., [0-9], have failed - and I'm afraid of that messing with the Chapter numbers. For the graphic, img src="index-1_1.jpg gets rid of one, but I'm not sure how to code an expression for all of them. Suggestions welcome. Thanks,
