I see what you two mean. I downloaded and unzipped it and found all those marks still there when I opened it in word. Some I can eliminate, and did, with a global replace with nothing, but there are too many of them and it will take too long. If it weren't for that it does look like a clean scan. I also looked at the history. This book was submitted by someone who doesn't care about credits or anything else, based on the past, and is one of those people that Sue suggested exist who don't really deserve the credit it if's going to take a lot of time. This is a book that should be rescanned for those who like modern-day romances. I plan to reject it--don't faint, those of you who know me. But I will wait a day or two in case someone else wants to have a go at it, in which case I will release it.
