Please remember that the more you convert from one format to another the
more you are likely to introduce errors. .Word .doc format is a lot more
complicated than just .rtf which is, in effect, a glorified .txt format
with formatting commands added. Personally, Cindy, since wWord is
perfectly capable of reading .rtf files I no of no reason to convert to
.doc and several reasons not to do so.

Dear Lissi,
I don't know if what I say will be of any help to you, because of what kind of machine you're using, but I do use Word, so maybe ...
First, whenever I download an rtf file from I save it as Word file and work in it as that. Then, when I'm ready to upload, I save it as an rtf file. I can't see any difference between the two, and I think I did once valdiate something without any problem leaving it in rtf, but I just feel more secure doing it the other way.
Anyway, you say that after you highlight your pages using the arrows erases the highlight. Since I don't use the arrows, if you have to, maybe this won't help.
I highlight the page or pages. Then I cut using either the word cut from the edit file or keystrokes (on my Mac it's the apple key pluys the X key on the keyboard). Then, if Ihad your problem, I'd go to 245, as you did, and click on Paste from the Edit menu--or using the keyboard, it's the apple key (would that be control on yours?) plus the V key.
Usually, to be safe, I copy rather than cut, to be sure it works and I don't lose the pages. Then if the transfer does work I delete the mis-placed pages by highlighting and deleting (carefully, so I don't cut anything else by mistake --smile).
HTH. If not, I'm sure someone else will solve your problem for you (smile).
