Click "Add new ..." and in its menu select "File". Follow the rest
of the direction above. The menu no longer has "Document" as one of the
choices.
Additional if you have not already done this, your file should be
named as follows NameOfTheChapter_INITIALS_date_.odt. The date format is
YYYYDDMM. (e.g., uploads today should have 20120118) Also, if you are
reviewing someone else's chapter, you would put your initials after the
author's initials with underlining before and after your initials.
(ChapterName_JS_DEL_20120118.odt says that you wrote "Chapter Name", I
reviewed it, and it was uploaded today.
