Well, I started the thread, and I just think that if .rtf is the preferred file, then it ought to be pretty much the only one or there ought to be a way to get the files converted. No one can do it for those of us who don't have, say, Kurzweil. That was really what I was leading up to. Cindy Lou Cindy Lou Ray.

We haven't changed our format policy recently. Our preferred format is always RTF books, but we will also take KES, DOC, and OpenBook format. If you can convert a file to rTF before submission we'd appreciate it, but it's not necessary. The advantage of RTF uploads is that all validaters can access them, while other formats like KES and DOC require specific programs to open. Also, keep in mind that after a book has been validated it MUST be in RTF format. We take submissions in other formats, but not completed validations. Hope this helped answer some questions.
