Meg,

When you saved the openbook .ark file as an .rtf file did you hear the message 
that yu have chosen to save in .rtf?  Sometimes when I go to save an .ark file 
in .rtf, the file name in the name file does not have the .rtf extension and I 
have to add it.

What did the error message in Word say?

  I have a question. I opened the book in OpenBook 7.0 and typed page numbers 
at the top of each page starting with the actual text of the book. I saved it 
as an RTF file on my computer in two locations and on a flash disk. When I 
opened it on my BrailleNote, it looked fine and when I went back and opened it 
in OpenBook, it was fine, but when I tried to open it in Microsoft Word, I got 
an error message. When I tried to open it in Word Pad, it appeared empty. 
Thankfully, I've got the book saved several places from before I put in page 
numbers but I'm wondering why it opens on my BrailleNote and OpenBook but not 
Microsoft Word or Word Pad? Will it upload to Bookshare this way or not? If 
this did something weird to the file, should I add page numbers in usind 
Microsoft Word instead of using OpenBook? Thanks!
  Megan
