Hi Cindy,
Yes, the file is cypress, but I selected rtf for the file type, and when I
upload it I type cypress.rtf on the upload page. I have tried all of the
suggestions, but no matter what I do it just will not upload. I have yet to
successfully upload a file to bookshare.org on this computer, but it was a
breeze on the other one. I just don't know what to think or do.
Sue S.

Sue,
Are punctuation marks eliminated from the file name? I
assume the.rtf is there, since you've uploaded before
successfully, though I have occasionally forgotten to
add that when I'd been working on the book file
without the extension.
