Hi Monica,
The BookShare system will accept a validation of a text file as an RTF file. This means you can open the TXT file in Word and immediately save as RTF and the page breaks should be retained in the RTF file. This is possible as I believe Word strips the breaks on TXT files upon saving in TXT.


HTH,
Jake

I think I may be out of luck then. I have Openbook, Word, and an editor called Notetab Pro on my system. Since I'm told that Word removes page breaks, it looks like I will have to stick with validating Arkenstone and rtf files for now. Bleh! I also have several books that I scanned into text format before joining Bookshare. I have no way of knowing if they have page breaks or not.

Hi Monica,
If you have Kurzweil, you might want to consider using it for validating. It
doesn't eat page breaks in txt files, which Word and Wordpad both will do
except under specific conditions.
