41.0. "Header page won't say NO" by WORDY::L_HOLMES () Thu Aug 30 1990 11:12

    How does one stop the header page from printing for a manual?  I have a
    manual that contains the necessary front material (front cover, title,
    contents), preface, chapters, and appendix.  I converted it to a .PS
    file (one file for all of the above).  When it prints, the header page
    lists the various files that are included/that will print out (again,
    all of the above).  I am trying to stop the header page from printing
    out but have yet been successful in trying to find where I would say NO
    to header page in the printer properties.  Since this manual is being
    sent as part of a kit and is .ps, it cannot be broken into the X number
    of files (I should say, it must be one file).  I have looked at all
    property sheets for the manual icon and frontmatter icon but it doesn't
    contain PRINTER PROPERTIES.  The first level that shows the properties
    is when I actually go to the first file FRONT COVER.  I have reset the
    header page here but all of the header information as to what is included in
    the printout STILL prints.  I have deleted ALL other associated
    versions of the .PS file.  
    
    Is there one place that will kill the header page info or must I kill
    it on every single file ? (note that even after I said NO to the front
    cover properties, it is STILL included in the printout header list.)
    
    Is there a high-level property sheet/area that I am missing and would
    take care of the header page?
    
    Is there another method?
    
    
    	Danged if I can find it.......

    Larry,
    
    here's how I get rid of the header page  (Betty Lew gets credit for
    this)
    
   1.   Edit the .ps file and search for the following two-line string:
      
    		logme
    		headerpage showpage    (it might say headpage instead)
    
    Note -- these two lines only occur once in the file.
    
    2.  Put the per cent character (%) in front of each of the two lines to
    comment out the lines.
    
    That's it -- you're all set to print.

    thanks.  tried another method of going into each file - to the printer
    properties page and saying NO for header page in EACH file.  Took some
    time but that also worked.
    
    	Thanks for your help.....Larry
