You can learn a lot if you are humble enough to listen.

Does anyone know if I can download ARC files in my Kurzweil 11 software?

I didnd't say that the newsletter should prohibit ARC
or KES submissions--just that it suggest that they
should be submitted in rtf if possible--which has been
suggested before ("or to the
instructions for volunteers it could be added that
books should be submitted in rtf") True, I didn't add
"if possible," but I did add "unless it can't be
done."
On the volunteer page, underneath the list of
acceptable formats, is this paragraph:
"Rich Text Format (RTF) is the preferred file format
for book submission to Bookshare.org. RTF enables us
to produce the most consistent content output. This
file format may be generated by using the "save as"
feature in most word processors, and it is a file
format that is available on all computer platforms. "
All I was suggesting was that this be put in a
newletter or in the volunteer acceptance information.
Of course, as I suggested, or asked, and as you
eplained in a previous post, if a person can't convert
to rtf for any reason then he/she can't, and people
like you and Grace and others who can validate in ARC
and KES and do those books. Possibly if the message on
the volunteer home page were more widely disseminated,
more people who had the option of converting to rtf
would, and more books would be available to a wider
group of volunteers.
