Unless things have changed recently, you don't want to put tabs in your rtf
files, as the bookshare processing software removes them, so things separated
by tabs get run together, or tabs at the beginning of a line get removed and
the line begins flush left.
If this is still true, you should save yourself the trouble, or convert the
tabs you already have to spaces and just use spaces from then on.
Someone will correct me if I am mistaken about any of this, I am sure.

E and Kellie,
The first part got sent before I read Kellie's letter. If Genji is accepted
I also have Lisa Denby's The Tale of Lady Murasaki, a novel, and Richard
Bowring's translation of The Diary of Lady Murasaki waiting in the wings. In
the meantime I will be doing an initial correcting of The Complete Verse of
Rudyard Kipling before sending it on for the validaters. I say "initial
correcting" instead of vailidation because all I am doing is putting the
correct line "enters" and "tabs" where Kurzweil ignored them. I was delighted
to rtf put the italicization correct which Kurzweil ignored. I tried setting it
for italics but even with Genji it reversed it so I gave up .

Dear Volunteer Friends,
That's it. Who is Genji?
Always with love,

That reminds me that I have a whole stack of Genji books sitting
somewhere in a box, packed away for the day when I'll get to buy a large house.
I'm sure they'll eventually make it into the collection.

Hi Amy,
Regarding your Genji project,
1. The pages with just a couple of letters may be blank pages, or they
may be pages that contain things that scanning software cannot interpret. That
might include maps, charts, pictures, Japanese characters, or any number of
other visual features. Unfortunately at this point there really isn't a way to
incorporate the sketches into the Bookshare files--right now the system is
handling text only.
I hope this is helpful and not too disappointing, and if you need more
Kurzweil tips don't hesitate to ask,
Kellie
P.S. It's neat that you are adding this cultural classic to Bookshare's
collection. One of the neatest things about Bookshare is the way it opens up
opportunities to explore literature from other cultures that might not
otherwise come to our notice.
Kellie
