Yes, I've wondered about that, too. It just takes so long to experiment
and if the experiment is bad I hate to bother bookshare subscribers with
the results. :-)
I also don't know how many validators could deal well with DAISY, so I
probably won't try submitting one unless I think making an RTF will
completely destroy the book.

Hi Sarah,
I'm assuming the Kurzweil 1000 can correctly save DAISY books with
tables. Or at least I thought the version 10.0 will. I know BookShare
accepts DAISY submissions, so would it be best for you to submit in that
format? Or will BookShare's tools attack the DAISY file and destroy all that
you would have worked for?
I don't think DAISY submissions are something that should be encouraged,
because we want the DAISY files for download to be created the same way. But
it would be cool if in cases where there is lots of markup to have DAISY
submission. (again if that will work)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] working on
I have started working on "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Ireadable,
suspect it'll be awhile before I am done with it, though., It's over 500
pages, and they are big, thin, slippery pages in a paperback. It's
scanning pretty well so far, but it's heavily formatted, which I suspect
will eventually cause some problems I'll have to straiten out. I started
out by being an idiot and forgetting to turn on column recognition, which
made me have to redo some.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should do about these little
diamond-shaped bullets that are recognized as question marks, and that
appear in great abundance everywhere in this book? I think they're going
to make me crazy. :-) Oh wait, that might have already happened to me, so
who knows what affect they will have. :-)
I have to download something I've submitted that has tables in it and see
how they came out in the DAISY file. I really wonder if they arebut if they aren't I don't know what I would do about tables I find in the
future, anyway.
