It doesn't matter much what you change it to while you are working on it as long as you convert it to RTF before checking it in. As for the name of the file, you can name that anything you want.

What do I need to name it when I upload it to the website? Because right now it is dying to marry part 1.rtf. An can I change it to a text format as I work on it an then put it back in the rtf format that it was in when I first downloaded it.

I guess I don't really understand; if you've checked the Renew link in you list of checked out books you still have on your desktop or laptop- or where-ever it is --a Braille note? Whatever --the file you've been and can still work on. Even when you check in the finished book you'll still have your saved copy somewhere -- forever unless you trash it. And I never trash my copy or return the print book to the library until I get the notice that it's been accepted. (I've learned from hard experience, smile). To answer your second question: roll your cursor over the part you want to spellcheck; it should darken (or change color. I've gotten to the point where I do that every few pages after proofreading them and make the corrections; then when I do a final spell-check on the whole document (which I do anyway) it doesn't take as long and I don't have to go back and find the page in the print book to see if the scanno is truly a scanno or is that way in the print book.

I've also started doing a find for 2 spaces together and replacing them with one space, which I was told to do when I asked here on the list. (when I replaced an end-of-line paragraph mark or hyphen with a space I sometimes ended with 2 spaces together (or did something else; I don't remember how I got them.) I hoped 2 spaces together would be changed to one or deleted in the conversion process, but was told "no"--change them myself.

    I understand that I have to upload the whole book. But what I am
    asking is how to save the file as before I upload it back to the
    website? An I have another question that I would like to ask. How
    do I highlight what I want to spellcheck? I didn’t think that I
    could do that.

    Angel;
    One thing that you can do when spellchecking is to highlight the
    parts that you need to spell check and do a insert F7 and continue
    on with the spellcheck. As far as uploading the parts of the book
    that you are working on (if I am understanding you correctly) is
    simple--you can't upload a partial part of a book, you must
    complete the entire book before uploading it.
    Does this help you?
