Dan, Are you spell-checkins as you validate or after? I found that if there are a lot of names and/or errors, the spell-check gives me that message when I validate with spell-check on, but if wait untl I've finished validating and then spell-check, and hit ignore all when a word is o.k., the spell-checking gets done. Otherwise, though the rules won't let you send the whole file, you could send the last half, ort the parts you haven't done. I helped one of our strictest rules followers by validating a third of the book at a time. I have a lot to do first, but if no one else will help you that way, and if you can't spell-check after yo finish validating, I'm willing to help, but it will take a while.
