I thought I had made mention of there being footnotes, but it was over 8 months
ago.

Sometimes the footnote numbers scan as a single quote or an odd symbol.
It would probably help if the submitter knows that there are footnote numbers,
for him/her to put that in the comments section. If it needs a sighted
proofreadr he/she/can ask

I do have my original. I have found out that it was a proofreading
decision that the numbers were some kind of junk character. We can all be
relieved that it was not a computer error of some sort.
Shouldn't the original submit be in BookShare's hands?

Hi Gary. I agree with Mayrie that this is indeed a real problem. In
my opinion, we should all worry about computer programs that decide what we
should see in a book.
Do you still have your original file? That might be helpful if the
book is resubmitted as a BSO book.

Hi Gary,
You might first contact the proofreader and ask if he/she
perhaps removed them, not understanding their purpose? If that is the case,
you can resubmit as a BSO and request a proofreader who is familiar with
dealing with footnotes. If the footnote numbers weren't removed by the
proofreader, I don't have any guesses. That is odd indeed. Once you know
whether it is a proofreading issue, then maybe we can all put our heads
together on why the numbers might have been removed by the tools, if indeed
that is what removed them.
This is a definite problem, and needs to have all of its
possible causes examined to decide what to do about it.
Good luck!
Mayrie

I submitted Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years by S.
Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery a while back and it got approved not too far
back in the past. I've just taken a look at it and it seems that the footnote
numbers were either stripped or erased. To say the least, I'm upset. I would
appreciate suggestions as to what to do about this.
Thanks.
