Grace,
Thanks for the details. For some reason I was thinking the book was one of
those 1000 plus page books.
I was wondering. Has anyone made sure it's not the problem that K-1000 has
(or had) with conversion to RTF? It seems like someone mentioned working on
it in Word, but I don't remember for sure.
I'm talking about the trick the list has mentioned in the past about using
Word to save the file by typing a space then hitting backspace to take the
space back out then saving with Word. Doing this apparently has been
correcting a problem that K-1000 has (or again had) with conversion to RTF.
From what I recall, the error that K-1000 introduced during conversion
prevented the book from being uploaded.
BTW, does anyone know if this bug has been fixed yet?
Gerald

Hi Gerald:
If you would ask the staff about this I would appreciate it. The book is 615
pageslong and the file size is 1900KB, unzipped. But as I said I can't
upload it zipped either.

I need to call Bookshare to check on a few things for the list anyway, so
I'll bring this issue up again.
Cindy, I doubt it has anything to do with the upgrade that took place this
week because this is a problem that has been going on for some time. It's
likely that this problem has existed since the beginning and that we don't
see it very often because there are not that many 1000 plus page books.

Hi folks:
I also have tried to upload this book without success. In the 4 years of
validating I have never been unable to upload a book.
There's no punctuation in the file name, and I've even shortened the file
name.
As Ernie said, it gets up to 99 percent and hangs. When I zip the file it
gets up to 38 percent and it hangs. I saved the file as txt and then back to
rtf hoping it would get rid of any strange formatting, but no luck. I've
tried to upload it on 3 separate occasions.
I have broad bend connection.
I am stumped. Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated.
