Greetings all, I just submitted Super sneak part of the Hannah Montana Series I have 3 more to do which leaves a total of 6 including the ones we have already. There are 8 more in the series. Let me know if anyone wants to help me try to complete the series or if it is worth it to try to complete it. Thank you.

I followed Lynn's because I didn't want to open the book in Kurzweil. My only problem was that when I opened the file, I got into the file conversion list. This was the second time I did this because the first time I chose HTML and ended up on-line in Windows Explorer. Lynn, if you could help me with what I did wrong, I would be most grateful. When I ended up in the file conversion list I was in My computer with the book already unpacked. I feel that I am learning a lot with this experience but realize how much more I have to learn. It might be better to go off list with your answer; my E-mail is jillocon@xxxxxxxxxxx Thank you all again.
