Dear Ashoka,
Great to hear from you!
The file that you get after using save as daisy option from MS word is an
xml file & not a complete daisy book. you can use this file to generate a
synthetic voice daisy book, a text only daisy book etc. you should process
this file with Daisy Pipeline & then you will get the output you need.
I wonder if you have followed the steps in the attached guide. Please do so
& then let me know of the outcome.
Prashant
