But you don't need to zip the file.

Hi

This happens a lot with books edited in Kurzweil. Just open your rtf file in word, put a space at the top of the document, then back space over it to delete the space. When you exit the file, Word will ask you if you want to save the changes. Tell it yes. To you and I, the file looks no different, but now you will be able to upload it. Be sure that if you uploade a zip file that it is the one to which you added the silly extraneous space. It will work, I promise.

Peace,
Mayrie

Hi. I just tried to upload utilitarianism by John Stuart Mills.

It was an .rtf file that I edited in Kurzweil.

Before trying to upload the book I saved it in .rtf format from K1000, opened it with ms word to make sure there were no extraneous characters or pages at the end of the book, and zipped it up.

I tried to upload the book and got an error that said it was not a valid .rtf file.

So, I browsed again, this time pointing to the .rtf file instead of the .zip file.

You guessed it: I got the same error.

Any suggestions? The book is on my computer ready to go.
