Ernie, There's no need to actually download the file again since it will be the same as the one you previously downloaded. You will need to get control of the book again though, so you'll need to begin the download process by hitting the Download button then hitting Save. Once you get the dialog box where you specify where to save the book, the Bookshare system will have already assigned the book to you, so you can hit Escape and skip the actual download. You can verify the book has been assigned to you for validation by pulling up the Step 2 page. If this doesn't work any more because of a change that's been made to Bookshare, then go back through the entire download process and save the file to a different folder or under a different name if you like then delete it since it will be the same as the one you originally downloaded. Once the book shows up on your Step 2 page again, you can continue validating the book using the file you're already working on.

Yet, the file is still in my validation directory. Do I continue to work on this file, delete it and get a new copy, or just wot? Also, if I re-download the book, will the changes I've already made be there, or am I gonna have to start over? Peace, Ernie
