Go to where you saved the book (your desktop? find it there and open it then
continue (I can't remember what you click on to continue, and I don't have a
book to uplod so I can't go to that on the site.

>>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!
