Thanks Liz,
I think the problem must be in the conversion process. It's not a problem
with page numbers om the text. When I bring up The Nun's Story in book
reader Wizard it tells me the book has 7 pages, (2,3,4,110,176,183, and
319), and they are the only pages I can read with that program.
When I first joined bookshare, near it's conception, I had no way to read
DAISY files and was forced to use Home Page Reader for my text to voice, the
victor reder appeaed, Then Bookwisard Reade Beta reading got esier.
I monitor this group constantly and learn a lot from it.Thanks for all the
help
Sam
