Scott,
Thanks, and sorry about the confusion. What I meant was that some of =
the files won't do anything when transferred to the BookPort, since all =
they contain is daisy navigation information. I haven't encountered =
this problem before, since I save all my HTML files as text and send the =
text files to the BP. It looks like you're doing everything right, so =
Pam probably has the most helpful suggestion, that is, to check your =
Book Wizard Reader.

Sarah,
First of all, I don't mind the questions. I am a management accountant =
and
so I, myself, am use to having to ask a lot of detailed questions to =
figure
things out. Yes, my unpack utility is set to create html files but I =
delete
the html file before sending to the BP so that I don't send the html =
file in
stead of the digital talking book. That leavs 5 files. The BP transfer
software only shows one occurrence of the book and it doesn't show file
extensions so I don't know which files are being sent. I figured that =
the
transfer software chose which ever files are needed. Also, I am =
confused by
one thing that you said. You said that the BP doesn't need the files =
that
contain information related to file navigation. Sense the BP can move =
by
sections, subsections, and pages, in digital talking books, wouldn't the =
BP
need the navigation information?
Thanks,
Scott
