I don't know if page breaks would be lost by converting to txt because I
have never tried it, but now that you mention it, I think that other
discussion here indicates that it might, so, if it does, that would not do.

Hi Roger,
Won't page breaks be lost altogether if you convert to txt? Am I
misremembering that too?

No, I do not have Word. I have proofread a number of books in Wordpad, but,
as you know, that is not ideal. I thought that proofreading it in Open Book
would be better, so this is the first one I did that with. If I had known
this was going to happen I would have just stuck with Wordpad. Creating or
using
a macro is something I know nothing about. Converting it to txt is
something I have not tried. Do you think that if I converted it to txt and
saved it
in Notepad I could then convert it to rtf?

Roger, without developing a macro, there is no easy way to fix that.
Just curious--does it do that w/text as well? Perhaps if u have word u
could save it as a text file, load it in2 word, & convert to rtf, .
I've been workin w/another person on this list who uses OB & it does
indeed do some weird things w/the conversion.
