Dear Evan,
Please excuse what may sound like dumb questions.
I noticed that you mentioned not using Word much to edit. Do you edit with
Kurtzweil? We use Openbook, not Kurtzweil. Do you know if it is possible to
edit .rft files in OpenBook? If so, do I simply open the .rft file while in
Openbook? Do I retain the important codes if I do that?
As I have mentioned on this list before, I am far more comfortable editing with
Open Book rather than Word, so thus far as validators, both Mike and I have
been editing .ark files. We hope that when we switch to editing .rft files
that we can use Open Book as the editor, so any comments from you or other list
members about how to do this successfully would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I think that autoformatting stuff is in the Options menu under the Tools
menu. But I could be wrong. I don't use Word much these days, so my knowledge
of it is getting hazier and hazier.

Hi Amber. My best guess is that MS Word is doing that incredibly
aggravating thing of autoformatting based on the pattern you have established.
So if you did some paragraphs which you started with a tab, then it will just
start automatically tabbing when you press enter twice to start a new
paragraph. You can probably turn this off, but I don't know how. However, if
you press tab and hear that you're one inch from the edge, then just backspace
once and remove what is essentially the second tab-the first one was
automatically put in for you and the second one you put in yourself.
HTH.

I am working on a paper for grad school. for some reason, in this
particular paper, in certain paragraphs, when I hit the tab key to start the
paragraph, it indents an inch, instead of the .5 inches it normally does. I am
using word XP. I also have it on normal view.
Any thoughts on how to get all of my paragraphs to indent one uniform .5
inches?
