Lissi,
 
Go ahead and reject the copy you have and let Jamie submit another one.
Seems like there's a reason for rejection that is something like Book is in
an Incorrect Format.  That'd be the one to use when this happens.  You will
also want to mention in the comments that it had a WPS extension so Gustavo
understands what was wrong with the format.
 
And it does happen.  Jake's found 2 or 3 TXT files submitted under RTF or
KES since Bookshare stopped accepting them.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] help, odd file extension not RTF


Dear Volunteer Friends,
 
Yesterday I downloaded, "Daddy Makes The Best Spaghetti, hoping for an
amusing, quick validation. According to the information on step one, it was
an RTF file. I downloaded it as I've done my other books and it arrived in
my validations in progress folder in my documents. Then I used the extract
command to retrieve the unzipped RTF file, but got a file that says the
following, instead.
 
Daddy_Makes_the_Best_Spag WPS File 11 KB
 
What is WPS, and how can I get RTF? I probably think I'm following the
normal procedure. but slipping in some goofy command without noticing. If I
can't resolve this problem by tonight, I'll release Spaghetti back to step
one so another volunteer can validate it handily and add it quickly to the
collection. 
 
Oh, and wish a couple of my validations well. Yesterday I uploaded Shadow
Baby, a beautifully written, wise and touching novel, and today I uploaded
an in depth, fascinating but a bit racy biography of Robin Williams. 
 
Thank you.
 
Always with love,
 
Lissi
