Hi, Jane. Actually, RTF is the preferred format now. The submission
guidelines, up to this point, though, haven't been changed, I don't think.
There are many things people have been working for in improving the system,
updated guidelines being one of them. Take care.

Dear John,
Thanks for your reply. I know how to save in OpenBook and do save all my
submissions as RTF. My concern, again, was about accessing kes files to
validate when I do not have Kurtzweil program. I think everyone should save
to rtf so we aren't limited when doing validations.
Jane
