Okay, I moved it from the desktop and made a directory. Now if I can solve
my final problem I think it will work. When I choose which file to open, on
the browse/accept page, the next tab says, "file of type". At this tab
there are three choices: all files, pictures, HTML, none of which fit. So
what can I do there?
Thanks for your patience.

Sue, I personally do not store my files on the desktop. I store them in a
particular directory I call bookshare. When I upload, the bookshare system
automatically defaults to that directory after the first time I use the
browse button to get to it. Then I arrow down through the bookshare
directory and when I get to the file I want to upload I hit the enter
key. That will probably put you back into forms mode (I use window-eyes so
that is why I say probably). Then after hitting enter on the filename, tab
once to accept and again hit enter. Wait a few minutes while the file
loads and that second page will come up where you have to specify quality
of book and such. Hope this helps.
