Lori, That's exactly what I do as well.

Hi, Maithe, This thread has been so extensive that someone may have made my suggestion, but here goes: The first time I submitted, I had a lot of trouble and found that only one way of submitting works for me. When the form comes up, I fill in the author copyright info, choose format and press the browse button to find my file on the computer. When that file name has been selected, I tab to the title edit box and the name from the file that I have selected by browsing is there. I then tab to open, select that and continue with the form. When I simply typed the file name in the title edit box and did not browse for the file on my computer, I could not open the file. Maybe this suggestion will help; I certainly hope so!
