Hi Cindy,
As I stated in my previous message, the file opens correctly in
Kurzweil. The book looks just fine, therefore I don't think it's really
worth rejecting, as the problem was with the software, not what the person
did to create it.
And the scan didn't look too bad from what I saw.
I see what you two mean. I downloaded and unzipped it and found all those marks still there when I opened it in word. Some I can eliminate, and did, with a global replace with nothing, but there are too many of them and it will take too long. If it weren't for that it does look like a clean scan.
I also looked at the history. This book was submitted by someone who doesn't care about credits or anything else, based on the past, and is one of those people that Sue suggested exist who don't really deserve the credit it if's going to take a lot of time. This is a book that should be rescanned for those who like modern-day romances.
I plan to reject it--don't faint, those of you who know me. But I will wait a day or two in case someone else wants to have a go at it, in which case I will release it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Dan, I downloaded the file, and opened it in Word 2003, and got all those codes you were talking about. I opened the file in Kurzweil, and it seemed to display just fine. I can tell by the types of quotes and apostrophys in the file that it originally came from OpenBook. We've seen this problem before with a few files that OB generates. I don't think we ever found a solution to getting these to open correctly in Word though.
So no, it's not just you.
And for anyone else interested in validating this book, it looks like a pretty good scan.

to Hold" by Jane Green
Ok, looks like I have something else to learn about.
I downloaded this book thinking I'd validate something that I wouldn't normally read. I extracted it and opened it in Word. It is full of what looks like some kind of control strings or something. It has lots of \par, \fs, \page and other strings. It says it is an RTF but I've never seen this kind of thing in an RTf before. Does anyone else know what this is and how to handle it? It is released back onto the validation list if anyone wants to look at it.
Thanks.
