Rose, if it's the long medical book, I understand. I have had similar
problems with a couple of 700+ page science books. The upload process is
unbearable slow or hangs. Try zipping the file before sending. If you are
using windows xp, find the file but don't open it. Hit the application key
or simulate a right mouse click (star or slash) on the number pad for Jaws.
You will get a context menu then arrow down to send submenu. Choose
compressed file and it will rename with a .zip extention. The file will be
smaller so when you browse for it, it should upload faster. Let me know if
I'm unclear. hth

I was trying to upload the book I have been validating, it isn't perfect but better than some I have read. I get it uploaded, jaws says 99% and then it hangs and the computer sits there forever, I went away and watched the local news cast for 30 minutes and still no action.
Is this normal?
I will try again later on.

Well, I just renewed the book this morning, hopefully I will have it completed by Sunday, that is my goal anyway.

Hi Rose,
The first couple of books I downloaded to validate I threw my hands up on. Since then I have found it has gotten easier. I am working on a book called Prairie Wife. It is a good book but the scan is maybe only going to turn out to be fair to good.. If the scanner is on the list let me know. I have some questions.

Yes, I know where the backslash key is, that was not the problem.
I have spent most of the day working on this one doing spell check, searching out all the new line characters , trying to make it look as professional as I can. I finally dumped the file on my husband, he is making short work of some of the things that have been giving me problems all weekend. I managed somehow to turn a 900 page document into one of more than 3000 pages, that is when I threw up my hands and put it on a flash drive and handed it to him. He says he has it back down to 800 or so pages now. Geesh, I never thought it could be so difficult and I sure hope this gets accepted and someone reads it. I guess the mouse helps, I don't know, or my brains are fried. Tom just handed me back my flash drive says it is minus all my extra pages, a bunch of new lines that were inappropriate, minus some tabs that were not necessary either.
I downloaded this Saturday, so I assume that I need to renew it Friday or so if I have not got all of the spelling done--asking because I am working the rest of the week.
Anyone want a super headache? It is free!

Rose, I'm glad you got the backslash confusion solved. <grin> You've put so much mental energy into dealing with this book that it would be a shame to have to release it. The backslash can be in different places on different keyboards. On mine it is shift along with the key just to the left of the backspace. On others it is shift with the key directly below the backspace. Kellie
