MS Word has nothing to do with anything. You can transfer Daisy books without it. I don't have MS Word on my computer. Since you can't download the Daisy file, at least, give the brf file a try. If it doesn't work, we'll have more knowledge so we can help you troubleshoot the problem.

I don't think that can be the problem as I do have MS Word on my computer and all other Book Share books are downloading, unpacking and transferring to the Book Port without incident.

Maybe someone else who has a Book Share membership can try to load the book and see if you too get an error?
I am trying to download the daisy version.
The book is

The Old Man and the Sea

Hi

Have you tried using the brf format? I don't use book share (I'm from Canada, grrr), so I can't help much further; although I have found that, if ms word isn't installed, doc files won't transfer. Its a good thing brf files do, though, as I have no means of getting my hands on a converter around here.

Have a good day from Tyler C. Wood!

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question.


I have been trying to open

The Old Man and the Sea

http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=4105

I keep getting the following error which shuts down the program with a C++
runtime error, when trying to load it onto my Book Port.

invalid character was found in text content.

At 3205:21

id="para_000769">


I have removed the book and redownloaded it, and re unpacked it, and have
been getting the same results for over a year now to this one book.  I have
opened and read many other book share books.  Any ideas?  Is there something
corrupted on the book share end of this file, or is it a problem with my
Book Port?  Oh, one more thing, it is the dasy version I have been
downloading.

Yes, I am using the Book port transfer program.  The crash happens when in
the transfer program I navigate to the book it makes a beep like the
transfer is starting and then crashes.

Thanks,

Dixie
