Hi. I worked on my first validation yesterday, and I ran into a situation that I'm not sure how to cope with. The book in question is The Princess Within by Serita Ann Jakes. When I unzipped the Microsoft Word file, it proved to be around 39 MB in size. When I loaded the book into Word, it appeared to have an empty table at the top of the document. It appears to have a lot of hidden text or pictures. I converted it to rtf, did a complete spellcheck, and then tried zipping and submitting the book. It was around 2.9 MB zipped, still much larger than the normal Bookshare format. It kept timing out, even very late at night. An attempt to convert it to text removed the page breaks so that the book was rejected. I am stumped! Does anyone have an idea of what I might try next? The book is in excellent condition, and I don't want to see it languish on the download page because of my confusion.
