The only thing I know to try other than converting to TXT (after changing
the page breaks to a text string), back to RTF (changing the strings back to
page breaks), and fixing the text attributes is to wait until you know
there's less activity on the server and try it then. I'd choose early in
the morning EDT or late at night PDT.
If that doesn't work, and you want to try the method I mentioned above, then
let me know, and I'll try to explain it better.

I'm using the current version of Kurzweil, but old habits die hard, so I did
bring itup and hit space, backspace and save. Even if they say the bug's
been fixed, I'm not a trusting soul. <grin>
