HI Roger,
I think I might not be helping, again. However, both Kurzweil 1000 and
Microsoft Word have the option to use the find and replace dialogue to
replace the new line (also known as the paragraph) mark followed by the
letter d with just a new line character. For instance, in word, in the find
box you'd type ^pd (assuming the letter d is lower case) and in the replace
box type ^p. If OpenBook has a character string that you can use to locate
that paragraph mark, you could do a find and replace using the method I
describe using OpenBook's character string for new line/paragraph.
Maybe?
Mayrie

Well, again, I don't have word, but something else occurs to me. Is there an
easy way to remove all of those d's from the beginning of each line. If
someone here can do that I could just submit it to step 1 again and you
could pick it up for proofreading. As far as I know, there is nothing else
major wrong awith it.

I've never used that version, but in version 7, there was a Launch menu that
I used to use to convert to rtf--or doc, I forget which--because my copy of
OB was in the bad habit of putting blank lines between every paragraph when
I converted to rtf with the Save AS menu. If your version has the Launch
menu,
you might try reconverting the file by opening it, going to the Launch menu
and choosing Microsoft Word. When it launches Word, it converts the file to
either a doc file or an rtf file. If it's a doc file, you can convert it to
an rtf file in Word. It's worth a try if you have that feature in your
version.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A Problem With Converting to RTF
There is a certain book that I downloaded for proofreading some time ago and
put a lot of time into until I got it right. When I downloaded it I put it
in my Open Book 6.0 to proofread it there. When I finished I converted from
ark to rtf and placed it in my documents on the computer. The file was
unreadable
there. It appeared to be a blank file. After trying this several times I
decided to try uploading it anyway to see if the Bookshare tools recognized
a
file. Apparently they did because they gave a page count and everything else
as I would have expected, so I completed the submission. However, Carrie did
not approve it. Well she meant to not approve it. Actually she accidentally
approved it and then took care of it by withdrawing it from the collection.
I figured out that the problem was that somehow, in the conversion process,
the letter d was inserted at the beginning of each and every line. There is
no space either. The first word of every line begins with a d. Well, I still
had a copy, so I just submitted it to step 1 noting this problem and telling
the proofreader to fix it. The person who picked it up for proofreading just
rejected it saying that there are minor errors in virtually every sentence.
That implies to me that the proofreader did not read my note, but if there
is no easy way to remove the d's I think I might have rejected it too. I
have
what seems to be a perfect copy in Open Book right now and I don't have to
remove a single d, but if I convert it they show up and I can't remove them
then because I can't access the converted file. After having put so much
work into this book I would hate to give up on it, especially when the ark
file
appears to be perfectly okay. Is there any way I can convert this book
without this problem?
