I don't know about others, but I don't work with text edit on my Mac. I'm not
sure it preserves fonts and bold and such. Anyway, as a sighted person I find
it annoying, so when I've downloaded an rtf file I open it with Word, change
view to normal, and then proceed to Prof and save as word. When I am ready to
upload the proofed file, I save it as an rtf file.
For some reason, the last book I did this with caused my Word to crash; I
solved the problem by opening the rtf file, copying it and pasting it onto a
Word file that I knew was o.k (anad didn't need any more) ., and that worked
perfectly. I'm almost finished with he poofing.
