Wow, thanks Sue. Looking over my response to your earlier message sounds like I'm indulging in self pity; that's a little known blindism that occurs occasionally. So, even though my message sounded like so much self pitying tripe I take it all back. Happy new year to you too Sue, and all my fellow booksharians. Question of the day: (drum roll please) Will we see the new site tomorrow when we wake up with ha ha head aches?

Bob, you are a big help to new volunteers. I have to say, I miss your humorous contributions. I haven't seen any lately.

Its been a very long time since I've worked with editing. thanks for the quick response. lelia ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 3:06 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Txt and rtf programs? No need to let us know because when you take it it will no longer be on step 1. Avoid taking books that have the phrase "hold for" in the titles as these books have been reserved for particular proofreaders. Both .txt and .rtf can be edited by microsoft word. However, any book that was originally a .txt file no longer has the correct page breaks and is against bookshare's standards and can't be included in the collection. Hope this helps.

Ok I'm about to go to step one and choose se a book, do I need to let you all know on list which I am choosing so it won't be validated twice? Secondly, can txt and rtf programs be edited with ms word? thanks lelia ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
