Well, it has been sitting there on the page now with no ability to do
anything but read the title bar for the last 45 minutes. I did zip the
file. If it is so hard to upload books, and things keep getting bounced
back, I can understand why people don't like to validate books. Not
only do you have the time it takes to try to make the book readable but
you have to try multiple times to upload it, sit and wait unreasonable
amounts of time to discover that it went no where, and next time you try
it tells you aren't logged in which you are and so forth.
I don't know if I have the time for this type of nonsense, editing the
file is time-consuming enough, but waiting over an hour to discover that
nothing is happening to that file, even when it is zipped is really not
my way of spending a Sunday morning.
I don't know if I will attempt another validation or not under these
circumstances. This makes me feel like the week I spent just working on
the spell-check and hyphenation of this file was a total waste, and it
is tempting if I can not upload this file soon to just release it and
let those with time and patients do the validations.
I have a full-time job, spent evenings and two weekends on this project
and it looks to me like it is not going to upload, and it isn't that I
have a slow connection, because I have DSL that is about three times
faster than the traditional 256 most people get.

I could be wrong, but I think you can ZIP the file to try to speed up
the
process some. I don't know if that would help or not. I've never had to,
but
I know others who have had problems. Take care.

I was trying to upload the book I have been validating, it isn't perfect
but better than some I have read. I get it uploaded, jaws says 99% and
then it hangs and the computer sits there forever, I went away and
watched the local news cast for 30 minutes and still no action.
Is this normal?
I will try again later on.

Well, I just renewed the book this morning, hopefully I will have it
completed by Sunday, that is my goal anyway.

Hi Rose,
The first couple of books I downloaded to validate I threw my hands up
on.
Since then I have found it has gotten easier.
I am working on a book called Prairie Wife. It is a good book but the
scan
is maybe only going to turn out to be fair to good.. If the scanner is
on
the list let me know. I have some questions.

Yes, I know where the backslash key is, that was not the problem.
I have spent most of the day working on this one doing spell check,
searching out all the new line characters , trying to make it look as
professional as I can. I finally dumped the file on my husband, he is
making short work of some of the things that have been giving me
problems all weekend. I managed somehow to turn a 900 page document
into one of more than 3000 pages, that is when I threw up my hands and
put it on a flash drive and handed it to him. He says he has it back
down to 800 or so pages now. Geesh, I never thought it could be so
difficult and I sure hope this gets accepted and someone reads it.
I guess the mouse helps, I don't know, or my brains are fried.
Tom just handed me back my flash drive says it is minus all my extra
pages, a bunch of new lines that were inappropriate, minus some tabs
that were not necessary either.
I downloaded this Saturday, so I assume that I need to renew it Friday
or so if I have not got all of the spelling done--asking because I am
working the rest of the week.
Anyone want a super headache? It is free!

Rose,
I'm glad you got the backslash confusion solved. <grin> You've put so
much
mental energy into dealing with this book that it would be a shame to
have
to release it. The backslash can be in different places on different
keyboards. On mine it is shift along with the key just to the left of
the
backspace. On others it is shift with the key directly below the
backspace.
