Mary, if a file can be *submitted* as an rtf file, (1)
more people can/will validate it, and (2) the rtf
files retain formatting like italics and page breaks,
which txt files do not., at least when validated via
Word. I understand that there is a program that will
retain the page breaks but I think Mike or Dave or
whoever mentioned it said it still doesn't retain
italics or other fonts. Once a txt file is submitted,
though, it can't be uploaded as anything but a txt
file. It can be changed to Word for validation
purposes but any font changes made and page breaks
inserted won't be kept when converted back to ttx for
uploading.
