When I tell the .opf file to open, it brings up victor reader bookshare
edition, but it then says no book loaded. I have saved a couple of these
papers to my computer and then gone through the process of updating the
bookshelf and it still doesn't see the files. Thanks any way for the
suggestion.

If you hit enter on the .opf file, it should bring up a default daisy
player, if it installed itself correctly.  The ncx file I believe will
show you html.
