Hi Kellie, Thank you for the info. I will save validated books to rtf from this point forward. I do plan to spend a bit of time with the validations - our public library seems quite good and I don't think it will be too difficult to find hard copies of what ever it is I'm validating.

Rtf is preferable to txt as a format because it maintains page breaks and other important formatting more consistently. Some programs can deal properly with txt files with page breaks, but others can't. Hth, Kellie --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!
