Book problems

[William Abernathy]

Jim: The offending "text field" is probably a text frame that is marked as 
PostScript code in the text frame's object properties. The first word in the 
text frame is "KVH", and since PostScript is space-delimited, PostScript throws 
an error at the first word ("KVH" not being a proper PostScript or PDFMark 
command). This aborts the whole print job.

To toggle off the PostScript characteristic, select (click on) the text frame 
and either right-click or select the Graphics menu, then click Object 
Properties. From there, uncheck PostScript Code.

This will eliminate your document's bad behavior

Good luck,

--William Abernathy
