Hi Roger,
I'm not an OpenBook user, but I might try this, if I were you. Can you
convert the file to a doc file, open it in Word (Oh, man, you don't have
word, do you?) and then convert to rtf in Word? I think my suggestion won't
work for you will it?
Sorry, but it was a thought, just in case you've acquired a copy of
Microsoft Word since you became a volunteer. Am I totally misremembering
your situation? If so, my sincere apologies.
Good luck. Maybe someone else has a different idea that will work for you.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A Problem With Converting to RTF
There is a certain book that I downloaded for proofreading some time ago and
put a lot of time into until I got it right. When I downloaded it I put it
in my Open Book 6.0 to proofread it there. When I finished I converted from
ark to rtf and placed it in my documents on the computer. The file was
unreadable there. It appeared to be a blank file. After trying this several
times I decided to try uploading it anyway to see if the Bookshare tools
recognized a file. Apparently they did because they gave a page count and
everything else as I would have expected, so I completed the submission.
However, Carrie did not approve it. Well she meant to not approve it.
Actually she accidentally approved it and then took care of it by
withdrawing it from the collection. I figured out that the problem was that
somehow, in the conversion process, the letter d was inserted at the
beginning of each and every line. There is no space either. The first word
of every line begins with a d. Well, I still had a copy, so I just submitted
it to step 1 noting this problem and telling the proofreader to fix it. The
person who picked it up for proofreading just rejected it saying that there
are minor errors in virtually every sentence. That implies to me that the
proofreader did not read my note, but if there is no easy way to remove the
d's I think I might have rejected it too. I have what seems to be a perfect
copy in Open Book right now and I don't have to remove a single d, but if I
convert it they show up and I can't remove them then because I can't access
the converted file. After having put so much work into this book I would
hate to give up on it, especially when the ark file appears to be perfectly
okay. Is there any way I can convert this book without this problem?
