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.

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. E.
