Hi. yes, the book is in daisy format from bookshare. it is a text daisy file. What I am trying to tdo, is to create an audio daisy file from the text daisy file. I want the audio daisy file to contain all the levels of navigation that seem to be in the text daisy file. according to k1000 v11, the book has 19 bookmarks. when I open the html version of the book that the bookshare unpack also created along witht he opf file, in internet explorer 7, the book has over 1100 headings at various levels. I would like all these 1100+ headings to be reflected in the audio daisy file, so I can navigate through them using hte bookport. I hope this makes some sense. what I am trying to do probably can't be done, but I have some that maybe I can figure out how to do it, or that someone else has done something similar. I have also looked at using the bookport wizard to do this, but haven't found a way yet.

Philip, I guess I'm a little confused. That has nothing really to do with your message and everything to do with my ongoing general state of confusion. :-)

Is not the book you downloaded from Bookshare already a DAISY book? Please help me understand why you would need to recreate it in Kurzweil 10 as a DAISY file.

I've done some DAISY file creation of late in K1000 Version 10, and I've even done lots of multiple bookmarks on different levels. But I don't know that I've ever taken an existing DAISY title and tried to manipulate it in K1000 Version 10.

Unless my experience is wrong, I assume that the Book Port is going to look for a .opf file rather than the HTML ones, but you probably already know that, and this message is likely more maddening and frustrating than helpful. Still, if you're not inclined to give up on me, I'm willing to do whatever I can to help.

Nolan
