Maybe you can have those books added to the wishlist so other people can scan them.

Hey, thanks, your message was a huge help. This book was a free download made available off a website as a ministry and now that you mentioned it, this rings a bell maybe a little, grin. I do plan on reading the manual. Now that I'm finally feeling better, I plan on doing this soon. There is a lot to remember and some info leaks out, hahaha, but what you said was a tremendous help. I'm not sure she'd be willing to rescan all those but I'll mention this to her. Thanks again and have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Ann" <agape.wellness.massage@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 9:15 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: file conversion question, txt file dilemmaJamie, You cannot submit books you download from authors. It is against what bookshare agreed to do with the publishers. I highly recommend you and your friend both read the volunteer manual.It is very helpful and lets you know what you can and can't do as far as submition and validating. and helps you do your best. Each volunteer should read through this....its a huge help....and keeps us all on the same page so things work well and smoothly.For the other books that are txt files that your friend scanned a while back I would say just rescan the books fresh. The converting and then inserting page breaks would take sight to use the book and add them in manually would take a large amount of time.and would make a huge mess for the validater. Hope this helps Laura AnnHi, thanks for the note. I downloaded the book from a website of the author as a free download. I didn't scan it at all. My friend's the one who scanned several books and saved then as .txt instead of RTF as we first thought. Thanks again and have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Petraccaro" <garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 11:25 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: file conversion question, txt file dilemmaIf you're not doing it by the book, you have to hope the headers are in to tell you. Did you scan this book yourself? How was it scanned?Thanks.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Prater" <jdprater@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 11:48 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: file conversion question, txt file dilemmaHi, thanks, how would one determine where the page breaks belonged? I used to know how to number pages--would it be necessary to do that, too, but I forgot. Thanks for the note, have a blessed day.----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Yates, CPhT To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 10:33 AMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: file conversion question, txt file dilemmaI think you cannot submit txt files because they have no page breaks. Now, if you were to put that txt file into a program like Word, and insert the page breaks where they belong, and save it as an rtf, you could submit the file, I think.Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading - Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan Call anywhere in the world for free on the 3 Skypephone To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
