In addition, sometimes the numbers are in different or smaller type fonts, and
are set a few points higher than the bottom of the characters in the line of
type. In such instances, OpenBook recognizes them as junk characters.

Sometimes the footnote numbers scan as a single quote or an odd symbol. It
would probably help if the submitter knows that there are footnote numbers, for
him/her to put that in the comments section. If it needs a sighted proofreadr
he/she/can ask

I do have my original. I have found out that
it was a proofreading decision that the numbers were some kind of junk
character. We can all be relieved that it was not a computer error of some
sort.
Shouldn't the original submit be in BookShare's
hands?

Hi Gary. I agree with Mayrie that this is indeed
a real problem. In my opinion, we should all worry about computer programs
that decide what we should see in a book.
Do you still have your original file? That might
be helpful if the book is resubmitted as a BSO book.

Hi Gary,
You might first contact the
proofreader and ask if he/she perhaps removed them, not understanding their
purpose? If that is the case, you can resubmit as a BSO and request a
proofreader who is familiar with dealing with footnotes. If the
footnote numbers weren't removed by the proofreader, I don't have any
guesses. That is odd indeed. Once you know whether it is a
proofreading issue, then maybe we can all put our heads together on why the
numbers might have been removed by the tools, if indeed that is what
removed
them.
This is a definite problem, and needs
to have all of its possible causes examined to decide what to do about
it.
Good luck!
Mayrie

I submitted Unstoppable Global Warming Every
1500 Years by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery a while back and it got
approved not too far back in the past. I've just taken a look at it
and it seems that the footnote numbers were either stripped or erased.
To say the least, I'm upset. I would appreciate suggestions as to what
to do about this.
Thanks.
