Hi Bob,

Please don't suggest sending a book from one member to another.  You've already 
signed an agreement stating that you won't distribute books in any format to 
anyone else, which includes other members. In order for Bookshare to continue 
operating, we all must stay within the bounds of the Bookshare legal 
restrictions.  Sorry to be so fussy, but I think Bookshare is a wonderful 
organization and I don't want it to be sued.

Thanks!  Carrie

Hi Siobhan.

If you will send me the book, I'll fix it in word and send it back to
 you. 
It'll probably be late this evening or tomorrow morning, though.

Does anyone know if this problem exists if someone gets a .kes file
 from the 
site, edits it in Kurzweil, converts it to .rtf in Kurzweil, and
 uploads it?

Otherwise, how can anyone validate with Kurzweil alone?

Bob
