What is the file size of either file? The only thing that occurs to me at the moment is that you might check the font size. If the book is not in fact blank, it may be in a very large or very small font for some reason. Admittedly, this is a stretch, but so is a submission of a totally blank book. What is the file size? If the book is in a very large or very small font, my JAWS will not speak it. You could try selecting the entire book and changing the font size if this is the issue - to something like 12 or 14, and then try to read it again. JAWS should be able to read it, then. Save the original before doing this, of course. But who knows? It could really be blank. ----- Original Message ----- From: solsticesinger To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 11:14 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Blank book Hi, all. I picked up And Never Let Her Go by Anne Rule from the step 1 page. It was originally in doc format, so I converted it to rtf. However, in both files, there is nothing but blank pages. Sometimes, Jaws says "text box" but, other than that, it just keeps saying "Blank. Blank." Should I reject the book, or, is there something I'm not doing correctly?
