My understanding is that the K1000 daisy export is *very* very basic, and
doesn't export all the appropriate structure.
I'd definitely endeavour to send the original daisy book to the Bookport
directly, rather than importing into k1000, then
exporting from K1000 into DAISY.

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.
Phil
