I suppose the same is true for other machines, like my Mac, because when I validate a txt file, it seems to automatically do it in Word, but when I hit Save, and then reopen, it's back to txt. Anyway, given what you say about KES, wouldn't it be easier for E to work and save her file in KES until she's finished and then convert to rtf before uploading?
