Thanks to those who responded to my request. 

The problem: I have chapter titles whose text is used in running heads.
             I wanted a registered trademark in the chapter title, but
             not in the running heads. 

Here is what I found out:

First of all, I was using the Symbol font registered trademark. Several
people kindly pointed out that the regular character set contained a
circle-R (CTRL q (   ). So I used that character instead.

Second, there is no straight-forward way to supress the circle-R in the
head if it is in the chapter title. However, one person suggested the
following solution, using anchored frames:

From ask@SEI.CMU.EDU (Alan Koch)

> I see no way to get the circle-R into the running Header/Footer.  
> But here's how you can exclude it.

> The Running header/Footer variable will omit the anchored frame.

Another suggestion was as follows:

From nigelh@csr.UVic.CA  (Nigel Horspool)

> The `registered' symbol (R enclosed in a circle) should give

> as well as the Symbol font.  On my Mac, `option-R' in the

And this is the last response I received:

Here is the solution I finally decided upon (given time constraints):

        Use the regular font circle-R in the Chapter titles
        Hardcode the running head instead of picking up the chapter
           title (draw-back: now the running head does not automatically
           pick up changes to the title, but the book is final, anyway).
        Delete the circle-R from the table of contents by hand (I have
           some other manual editing of the TOC I have to do anyway).

I liked Alan's idea, but did not have time to do it this time around.
Thanks to everyone who responded!
