Liz, an added word about validating, which you may already know from previous discussions and from those things you see when you downloaded -- note the date you download the book; about 6 days (to be safe) later, if you haven't finished and uploaded the book, go to the upload and choose renew; your book will renewed for another 7 days. You can do this as many times as necesssary until you're finished with the book and ready to upload, so don't feel stressed about getting it done in a week. Also, just to add to what Mary said about changing something and saving in rtf: One can't upload a book, at least a txt book-- I don't know about the others-- in a different format. What I did was save the book as an rtf document, and submit it as a replacement with an explanatory note. I can't remember what happened after that --if the new submission again went on the download list and if it did if I downloaded it and then uploaded it, or if someone else did, of it the admnistrators took care of it and put it in the collection. Good luck. Validating is a lot of fun if you like the book you're reading. Cindy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Domains ?
