Hi Reggie, Oh, I feel really sorry for you; this has happened to me several times and has caused rage, grief, and disbelief. I don't know why, but sometimes the BN just decides it doesn't like a given file. Sometimes opening said unpalatable file in another program, altering it in some minor way, and then resaving in the same format will fix the problem the next time you work on it with the BN. But even that doesn't always work. If your frustration is sufficiently motivational you could send the file to the PDI people; the truncated one and the pretruncated one. This can be done because PDI people have clearance to download Bookshare files for testing purposes. Kellie
