Unfortunately, Lisa, the only way to fix a book that's marked fair is to read it and fix it as you go along. The one I'm doing now has parts of sentences all over the place. I have the option of rescanning pages or typing in the missing line or cutting and saving to another Word document lines that don't seem to belong, and then pasting them if when I find where they do belong -- which is the option I'm using. I've also found, so far, 4 pages missing (2 in two different places), whichn I've scanned and validated and inserted. But I'm sighted and retired, with no family obligations but an understanding husband, so I have time to do all that. My advice to you is to release the book and let someone else do it. Check the quality rating and select one that's Excellent to validate. According to Shelley and some of the others, they've submitted ones that should be easy validations.

I've noticed that many of the books that I download for validation seem to be of fair quality. i would like to edit them to improve this. Does anyone have any tips on doing this? It seems a bit time-consuming to read the entire book to check for errors. Any suggestions? -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
