I can only say that Openbook has some very odd "features" involving converting
from .ark to other formats. Notably, when you convert to a .txt file from
.ark, any double-spacing to denote paragraph markers goes out the window, but
converting to .rtf retains them. However, converting to .rtf replaces all
quotation marks with double-closed quotes, which I don't believe is the case
when converting to .txt from .ark. These things irk me, because one would have
thought they'd come up in the beta testing phase. However, and yes, I realize
how snobby I come off when I say this, we *are* talking about Freedom
Scientific here. <Sigh> What can I say? There's little love lost between us.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Strange Open Book Problem
I took an .ark book from step one and found that each of the first fifty
pages has at least several hundred blank lines. I then contacted the submitter
to let her know that I planned to reject the book and why.
Then, out of curiosity, I converted the book to .rtf. In the .rtf file there
were only blank lines and absolutely no text. I then went back to the .ark
files and removed a number of blank lines from the first few pages and saved
the file as an .rtf file and a .doc file to see if I could salvage the file at
all. In both the .rtf file and the .doc file again there were only blank lines.
Obviously, I'm going to reject the book, but does anyone have any idea what
would cause these problems. The submitter is concerned about how to avoid
these problems in future, and I have absolutely no clue.
This situation may be similar to Maithe's situation, and if no additional
thoughts about solutions are forthcoming I understand.
