HI Scott:
That's exactly what I do. I make sure that I have 199 characters. When I had
200 characters it came back with an error.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a tip on the short synopsis
Hey all,
I just wanted to throw this suggestion out to anybody on the list. I've
seen the occasional mention of people encountering difficulties because
their short synopsis was too long.
What I have been doing is writing my synopsis in MS Word, then accessing
the word count feature off of the tools menu. This handy little dialog
box shows you the number of words, characters, lines, etc. Obviously the
only critical statistic would be the number of characters. Then I select
the text and copy it to the clipboard, return to the Bookshare page, and
paste the text into the synopsis edit box.
My friends have told me that I have a very meticulous, and on occasion
obsessive, personality. I suppose this is one example that might qualify,
but I hope it might help someone.
Scott
