The prefered format is rtf, which stands for rich text format. That means
it is richer in formatting It keeps font style and size information as well
as paragraph markup and page breaks. Txt files only keep hard returns and
page breaks at the most, and sometimes not even the page breaks.
Your uploads will go quicker if you submit in rtf, especially if you
remember to either open and resave the file in Word or Wordpad before
uploading it. The other thing you can do instead of resaving the file, is
to go to the file menu in Kurzweil, then arrow down to utilities and press
enter. There is an option in there to remove layout information. Press
enter on it. That information is no longer needed once you are finished
working with the file in Kurzweil. If you kept the file in kes format it
might have some use, but then it is bigger and less people are likely to
volunteer to validate it.
I hope that helps.
