Hi Max,
You may not have read the validation instructions even though I believe
they've been pointed out within the last couple of weeks:

While this is not a perfect guide, they do provide some helpful information
about how the process works. For instance they discuss the fact that the
Browse button is silent for some screen readers.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] It's Done, and Thank You Bigtime!
With help from fellow listers and a final nudge from my friend Phil, who's
not yet a Bookshare member, I believe the "New American Militarism", has
been successfully validated and submitted.
From this experience, may I just list a few key points every newby must
and might not know:
You can in fact go to the "Step 2" page right after logging in, without
having to go into a special section for Volunteers; i.e., there's no
need to go to the Volunteers' Home page to do this volunteer activity.
To find the file that resides on your own machine, press the space bar
on or otherwise click on the button with no name, after going to the
page which says: e.g., Upload "Fund with Dick and Jane."
The simplest way to find that file may be by going to "Recent
Documents." The Windows dialog seems to remember where you've been up
to a point.
After selecting or highlighting the file to be uploaded, Open it! This
can often be done with the Enter key.
Before the file is opened, you cannot switch focus between the file
list on your computer and the page containing the "Accept" button. It
magically reappears and starts the upload oce you open the file from
the internal or off-line file list.
After waiting a bit for the upload, you get a rating of the book by the
automated system, along with a chance to override that and a few other
ratings. Once the initial upload is done, the process is a piece of
cake.
These are just a few of my thughts re uploading. Anyone is welcome to
incorporate them into a more formal FAQ on the subject.
