I've just finished proofing and uploaded The Legend of Buddy Bush (historical fiction for 12 years and up that will, I think, make an unforgettable impression on young readers about racial prejudice and a way of life in the rural South in the late 1040s when there was still active prejudice against Black Americans that made life difficult and at times dangerous.. I just got The Tomb to do next, and then I can turn my attention to Medals of Valor, but if your book niterests me, I'll take it. I read what I proof and wouldn't mind manually removing those d's or replacing them as I suggested.

Is there an easy way to remove all of those d's from the beginning of each line. If someone here can do that I could just submit it to step 1 again and you could pick it up for proofreading. As far as I know, there is nothing else major wrong awith it. "I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition."

If your version has the Launch menu, you might try reconverting the file by opening it, going to the Launch menu and choosing Microsoft Word. When it launches Word, it converts the file to either a doc file or an rtf file. If it's a doc file, you can convert it to an rtf file in Word. It's worth a try if you have that feature in your version.

When I downloaded it I put it in my Open Book 6.0 to proofread it there. When I finished I converted from ark to rtf and placed it in my documents on the computer. The file was unreadable there. It appeared to be a blank file. After trying this several times I decided to try uploading it anyway to see if the Bookshare tools recognized a file. Apparently they did because they gave a page count and everything else as I would have expected, so I completed the submission. However, Carrie did not approve it. Well she meant to not approve it. Actually she accidentally approved it and then took care of it by withdrawing it from the collection. I figured out that the problem was that somehow, in the conversion process, the letter d was inserted at the beginning of each and every line. There is no space either. The first word of every line begins with a d. Well, I still had a copy, so I just submitted it to step 1 noting this problem and telling the proofreader to fix it. The person who picked it up for proofreading just rejected it saying that there are minor errors in virtually every sentence. That implies to me that the proofreader did not read my note, but if there is no easy way to remove the d's I think I might have rejected it too. I have what seems to be a perfect copy in Open Book right now and I don't have to remove a single d, but if I convert it they show up and I can't remove them then because I can't access the converted file. After having put so much work into this book I would hate to give up on it, especially when the ark file appears to be perfectly okay. Is there any way I can convert this book without this problem?
