Uncle! I'm defeated! I hate to admit it, but the computer has won! I will ask 
if I can send it to John or Gustavo. 

Many thanks to Gerald and Tom, who patiently gave me ideas, which I followed. 
Thanks for putting up with all of this. It will get up, somehow!

  The idea isn't to strip the page breaks, but to strip everything else by 
converting the file to TXT, back to RTF, then adding the text  attributes back 
which were stripped.  Essentially, it's cleaning out the file and starting 
over.  It's worked in three instances that I know of.

  Well, I tried late at night--early in the morning, I changed the filename of 
both the zip and rtf files, tried everything else I could think of except 
Gerald's idea of stripping page breaks. I'll keep you posted. This is apuzzle, 
and puzzles are fun, in a warped way.
