Tracy -- The answer as to why txt submissions need to be resubmitted as RTF is, I believe, that our system is set up to minimize the introduction of errors or new elements (the latter of which is questionable in terms of copyright). While I'm not suggesting you wouldn't get the pages right, allowing volunteers to resubmit in RTF would allow the potential for incorrect structure and formatting to be added to the book, "by default" as it were (or by MSWord). At least I believe that was the thinking. I understand that it's possible to enter "form feed" page breaks in text files. Pratik, was it not you who told me about that? Can you clarify for Tracy? Finally, I heartily recommend TextPad (www.textpad.com) as a quality free editor for text files (and HTML, if you need that). -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tracy Carcione Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 1:40 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] TXT and page breaks When I got the txt file I'm working on, it had page breaks, but as soon as I brought it into Word to work on and saved it, the page breaks disappeared. Is there any way to stop this happening? And DON'T say to edit it in K1K, because it ALWAYS crashes, sooner or later. I never got an answer as to why, oh why, do I have to put a txt file back as txt, when, if I only had the option of putting it back as RTF, I could easily fix the page breaks, and not have to hassle with K1K's problematic editing, which is the only way I know to get the pesky breaks to stay in txt. Why must I suffer? Is there actually a reason txt must stay txt? I want an answer from Admin, not someone else's guesses. Tracy
