Hi Mary and Roger,
Thanks for your thoughts on my uploading problem. For future reference, the
"Browse" button actually says "Select File," and I'm just too dense to figure
that out!
Anyway, I uploaded the book this morning without first trying to type in the
filename, and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!

Hi Sandi,
Oh, I've experienced the very problem that you're talking about, just not in
the situation that you're encountering it. First, try using the browse button
without typing anything into the edit box. You needn't type anything to browse
to files on your computer when uploading a book for submission. Just hit enter
on the browse button on the submission page and you'll get the dialogue opened
that lets you direct where to find the file that you're wanting to upload.
As for Jaws not reading anything, try unloading and reloading Jaws before
attempting the editing of anything on the web. If that doesn't work, I'd
reboot and try again. It's annoying, but is a result of Jaws being tired, I
think.
Let us know what happens.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A Problem with Uploading Scanned Books
Hi All,
On Monday I uploaded a book I had scanned, and the process was quick and
easy. Since then I have tried to upload another book, and have not been able
to.
I use JAWS 12 to submit books, and I have always had problems writing in the
filename on the first page. For some reason I can't write in enough characters
to provide the entire path and filename to be uploaded. Usually I've pressed
enter, been told the filename is not valid, and a toolbar comes up that lets me
browse the files on my drive and select one.
This week, the edit field is there, but when I type into it, letters do not
show up. If I press enter, I get the message that the file is not found or is
empty. And if I tab or shift-tab, trying to get to the toolbar, I get the
links before and after the edit box on the regular screen.
I have changed nothing in my system since I easily and quickly uploaded my
last book on Monday. I'd certainly welcome any helpful thoughts from
volunteers or Bookshare staff!
Thanks so much!
Sandi
