Hi Amy, My advice would be to submit the rtf that you originally made using Kurzweil. There is a place where you can write in comments about the book that you want the validator to see. The reason your rtf kept opening in WordPad is not that there's something wrong with the files. What happens is that on your computer certain file types, (such as rtf, txt, kes, etc), are assigned to be opened by certain programs. Apparently your computer has assigned rtf files to WordPad. The good news is that it's not too difficult to reassign a file type to be opened in a different program. At this point, you'll probably want to assign rtf files to Word Perfect. If you want instructions on how to do this, let us know. Otherwise, you can probably just open the files from within Word Perfect itself. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to find you either a book or tutorials on using Word Perfect, or an e-mail group devoted to Word Perfect that you could join where you could ask questions. Do you know if Narrator will work in Word Perfect's help files? I still feel bad that I can't offer more helpful help. Kellie
