Hi Chris,
To unlock the file:
1. Open the file in Word.
2. Go to the file menu, from there go the permissions box and switch
off the "restrict editing" option and save the file again. If you can't
find any of those, and you're using a screenreader, you'll have to get
some instructions from someone else on this list on how to find those
options within word. Just ask. smile.
If you can't get it to unlock, you may have to ask the Bookshare
administrators to put the original scanned file back on the checkout
list for you so you can start all over again from the unlocked copy that
was originally submitted by the scanner.
If the above doesn't work, let us know.
Also, I think you're asking about how to get rid of the running headers
in the book. This is something the scanner really should have done for
you (in my opinion. grin.). A running header often appears in printed
books, and it gets scanned in as the first line of the page on the
scanned version. It isn't part of the text of the book per se, just a
reminder to a reader with vision of what book they're reading, by which
author, and what chapter they are in. If it's there, it need sto be
removed from every page it appears on as a running header for a book
that's being submitted for Bookshare.
A running header will be usually be either a repeat of the title of the
book, a repeat of the name of the chapter, or a repeat of the author's
name, often preceded by or followed by the book's page number. All of
those running headers should be deleted, but if the page number is at
the beginning or end of the line make sure to leave the page number there.
Does that make sense?

Dear Christopher,
Thank you for your efforts to prepare a title for Bookshare We are
contacting you because a book you proofread, /Hold for Christopher: A
Christmas Carol: And Other Christmas Stories With A New Afterword/ by
Charles Dickens, Frederick Busch , has been marked for more editing
before publication on Bookshare.
*Reason(s) for the request of further editing:* To the Proofreader: Hi
Chris, the file is still locked. I've looked at the original scan that
was submitted by Larry, and it isn't locked, so it's being locked by
your software settings and you have to change the settings on it for
us to proceed. Also, the book still has all of the running headers and
those must all be removed as part of the proofreading process. Other
changes may be needed after we're able to examine this book in more
detail once the editing restriction has been removed. If this still
doesn't make sense or you need more help, please write to
volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with any
questions.
We invite you to contact volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> if you need more information
regarding this submission. We appreciate the time you spend
contributing to Bookshare, and look forward to continuing to build the
collection together.
Thank you,
The Bookshare Team
