Bertha, Welcome. Here is the URL to the part of the volunteer site that explains about submitting books. Basically, you scan a book, check to make sure that it has page breaks and that all pages are present and, preferably, probperly numbered; do a spell check. and fill out the submission form carefully. That's the minimum. Most people will prevalidate so that the book has as few scanning errors as possible before submitting, so that the risk of rejection by a validator is eliminated. This means eliminating headers and junk characters, the end-of-line paragraph markers if they are there. If you have Kurzweill you can run something, I forget what it's called, to eliminate scanning errors. Many people read the books before submitting them correcting errors as they go, since neither the Kurzweill program nor a Word spell-check will catch words that are spelled correctly but are not correct in the context; for example, often "the" will scan as "lie," and "he" will scan as "be.
