Okay, I tried something that I think worked. Several of you suggested that 
I convert the file to txt in Word and then convert it to rtf. I do not have 
Word, though, so I wondered if I could do the same thing in Open Book. I 
converted it to txt and saved it in Open Book. I then converted it to rtf and 
saved it in Open Book. It looked okay to me, but I was afraid to move it to 
Wordpad, so I tried to upload it to Bookshare directly from Open Book. 
Perhaps it was my ignorance again, but I used the browse feature for a long 
time 
and could not find it, so I went ahead and transferred it to Wordpad and 
saved it in my documents. It looked okay again to my cursory examination. I 
have 
now uploaded it to the checkout list again. It is entitled Imago by Amy 
Sterling Casil. I would really appreciate it if an experienced proofreader 
would take this. Remember that originally I proofread it myself and only 
submitted it as a new submission because it had entered the collection and then 
was 
withdrawn, so, even though I will not claim to have made no mistakes, the 
hard part should be already done. What I am worrying about is that there 
might be some other problem related to all this converting and I would like an 
experienced proofreader who will recognize it and be able to discuss it with 
me to determine what else has to be done. Also, the person who rejected it 
last time gave not only the reason that minor errors were in every sentence, 
but also said that it contained adult material and racist material. Now, I 
don't think most people would claim that it contains "adult" material, but I 
do know that I would disagree with anyone who did designate it adult as long 
as that keeps anyone from reading it, so I would really appreciate it if 
the adult designation that the Bookshare tools put on it be removed. As for 
racism, I read it carefully and I cannot imagine how anyone could find racism 
in it. Besides, I am pretty sure that those are not rejectable offenses 
anyway. So will one of you download this book for proofreading. It is science 
fiction.
