Hi Kenneth,
On the download page it said the file is ASCII text. i.e., for Tudor
England. You say you have kes, and Julie put a note on that says they have
to be converted. So did you convert the file to ASCII? I can't seem to
upload it. I get the message: problem copying the file. I have been
reading it with Wordpad,, but it seems I can read either text files or RTF
with wordpad. I want to get it up there for youuu, but I do not have
Kurzweill or any other type oof reader like that. I use Jaws with a Braille
display, but it does read what is on the screen. So, hmm. If you have a
copy with page numbers on it, maybe that one would be better. (smile) Had
I known it was a kes file before download, I would probably not have chosen
it for my first go, but it did say ASCII text. So what do I need to do to
get it to upload? When you are new at something you can get into the
darndest messes. (smile)
Sue

The page numbers are at the top. Also, it would be easy to submit the book
in rtf if that is desired. I stopped submitting long books in rtf because
the kes files were generating some blank pages. Let me know your
preference.
