Dear Gerald, Jamie and Josh,
In the time it took me to describe my problem, you solved it. I might have had
big trouble. WPS could have stood for Warning, Pulverized System, the beginning
of the end of my computer!
Very quick responses, all of you! Gerald and Josh, I was positive I'd messed up
yet again and taught my computer another bad habit! Or, what if it had begun
speaking in tongues and all future file extensions were going to be gibberish!!
It could happen!
I'm not only relieved that my computer was calling it as it saw it, but happy
to have learned the acronym for another computer extension and learned how to
properly identify the cause if I should ever need to reject a book which comes
to me with WPS.
Jamie moves at the speed of light. She's already prepared the RTF file, I've
downloaded it and, because it was such a short, perfectly scanned book, I'm
already finished validating. Jamie, Thank you. that was even easier than I'd
hoped for.
Now I'll get back to Tolkien's languages, history and historical fiction.
Always with love,
Lissi

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.

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
