There are two things you should try to get your RTF files uploaded without
errors.  You can open them in Word and change a caracter then resave, but
you run the risk of causing problems with the formatting while it's in Word.
You could have the too many pages problem for instance.
The alternative is to go into the utilities sub-menu on the file menu in
Kurzweil and use the option to remove layout information.  You do that right
before you save the file to RTF.  That will get rid of the problem if it is
actually the file content that is the problem.

The Bookshare's submit form has recently been objecting to files with more
than 8 character file names, so that might also have been your problem.
Obviously it isn't supposed to be having that problem, and it isn't telling
anyone that that is the problem, but changing the file name to something
short has worked several times for several different people. :-)
