Hi, Lissi. I don't know who thinks you can't do much in .doc and you can do
more in .txt. The text format is just the bare basic format, and Word allows
for more formatting and functionality in other formats. When you write your
synopsis, though, you don't upload the synopsis file. You just copy the
text, then paste it into the field on the submission page, so the format
doesn't even matter in that case. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Ot Thanks for synopsis and file extention info
Dear Gerald,
It is interesting to know that file types can be changed and the steps to
accomplish this. Your instructions are clear and I can imagine trying them
without getting the willies.
The reason I asked is because a tidbit of information drifted my way which I
don't know whether it's true or not. The factoid was, "You can't do much in
Word.doc. You can do more in .Txt. I am beginning more demanding word
processing tasks, so wondered if executing and saving them in another
extension than .doc might be more flexible and efficient. The long synopsis
was a small document so I thought that after it's safely been uploaded, I
could practice with the copy that would remain in my files.
Don't worry about answering this as it doesn't directly relate to a
book-share task.
Always With Love,
Lissi
