If no one else is, and no one is in a hurry for it--which I assume is the case
since it's been sitting there for so long, I'm prepared to take it--but I just
went to the list and it isn't there in rtf--just in ark.
I think you'd have to reject the ark and submit the rtf version. Does anyone
know how to contact Theresa Taylor to see if she can convert it and resubmit
it, or if she doesn't care if someone else rejects and submits the rtf version?
If not, I'll ask Pavi to contact her. Hang on to that, please, Ann, until we
find out what she'll do.
