Hi Sandi,
What I think happens is that the charts are available in the "daisy with
images" books, but not present in the "daisy" or brf books because they are
graphics of somesort, just not straight text, which Bookshare's conversion
tools don't know how to handle. I'd bet the images that you want are
present in the "daisy with images" files of books, but aren't accessible
because the images aren't straight text.
Just a guess on my part, as I can't verify that myself.

Hi Debby,
Often the charts are mentioned in the patterns themselves (use Chart X to
complete pattern rows 9-57, reading the K rows from left to right and the P
rows from right to left), something like that--and then no chart is there.
It may be that Bookshare's software chucks the charts because they look like
garbage characters, but I don't know that. I just know it's frustrating to
read through a pattern, say to myself "Oh, that looks great! Can't wait to
make it," and then find out I can't because the charts are missing.
