Hello,

I've used Calibre for a few weeks now and have converted several .pdf files to MOBI format so they'd work on my Kindle and have even been able to make them look good on the Kindle. My only problem is that I can't seem to remove the headers and footers. I found the option to do that but I'm obviously not technical enough to figure out what the "header (footer) regular expression" line is supposed to say to make it work. And worse, in the process of trying to figure that out, I've managed to erase the default line that was there. How can I figure out what to put in that line to get it to remove the headers and footers? Is it different for every book? And failing all that, can you at least tell me what it said in that line before I messed it up?

Thank you.
