hi balinor,
Tried what you suggested and that didn't work, so I dug around some more and came up with removing this code:
<div id="cat_head"><h1>{$title}</h1>
from cat_dialog.tpl, which took away the category titles, but left the product name titles when you click on each product for the product details.
Now I'm off to find a way to remove the Page Name from the static pages...
Thanks for your tips.
