Hi Jake,

Do you know what Bookshare is using to determine whether a file is an rtf? Or have they written their own code to do it? Anyway, it seems like something that Bookshare needs to fix on their end--unless Kurzweil is actually generating slightly-nonstandard rtf files.

 Hi Katie,
     It's been reported several times that Kurzweil produces files that 
BookShare thinks are not valid RTF files. Stephen has stated that the problem 
is difficult in nature to address, because every other program seems to accept 
the files as valid. Opening the RTF file in some other capable editor like 
Word, typing a space, erasing that space by hitting backspace and then saving 
the file eliminates the problem.
