Hi Grace,

Pam mentioned that saving in txt seemed to prevent trouble with quotation marks, both double and single. Openbook recognizes quotation marks as a slightly different variant of the punctuation sign, and it seems that this can cause trouble for people reading books using a notetaker with a braille display.

I am not Kellie, but you're correct. That will work. Is there a reason for saving as text first rather than rtf? Just curious.

Hi Kelly, I think I understand what you mean. Tell me if this is the right process: Or at least one of the right ways.
1. Open the .ark file in Openbook.
2. Save the file as a text file.
3. Open the text file in MS Word.
4. Immediately save the file as an rtf file.
5. Then I can open the .rtf file in Word and do the necessary editing.


Will that work do you think?
Scott

Hi Scott,
Word will eat the page breaks out of txt files, so if you're going to edit
files in Word you have to either save them in rtf with Openbook, or safe
them to rtf in Word the first time you open the txt file. If you save as txt
in word the page breaks will be history.
