I think you are right Gary, I think Carrie keeps the original submits.

  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.
