Cindy,
I downloaded a copy of Plum Bun that had been on the list for a while and that people were having trouble with. I have a copy of the book, not the exact same one but the text and pagination of the text are the same.
However, even though it was an rtf file, I'm pretty sure, something in it causes my Word, no matter which version I use, to crash within a few seconds. I tried releasing and re-downloading it, checking my computer to be sure it's in top-running condition, waiting a day.
I have discovered, however, that I can validate it in txt. Of course, not only any font styles but hard page breaks disappear when saved, as it reverts back to txt.
I can put in page numbers--in fact, I think they're there, just in the wrong places--but how do I indicate page breaks? I'm guessing I should use line spaces before and after, but how many? Or should I release this and let someone else have it. I can't remember what the problem was in the first place that it was released and I felt I needed to take it.
Apparently it is an important book--first published in 1929 (not 1928, as the submitter thought) it's part of the "Rediscovered Literature of Historical Significance" series, and part of a "Black Women Writers" series, written by by one of the Harlem Renaissance movement's "most important and prolific authors." --interesting, since her output consists or 4 novels.
I suspect it's required in Women's and in Black Studies programs in universities and colleges.
Having finally discovered a form in which I can work on it, I'll await opinions as to what I should do before I do any more work on it.
Cindy
