I'm a little confused. txt files can be saved as rtf and then submitted. I seem to remember that losing page breaks et al was the situation in reverse--you could validate in rtf but when converted to txt everything was lost. Back when txt files were submitted, I downloaded and converted them to Word and then rtf and validated them and then uploaded them as rtf when I was finished. I would think that you could convert her txt files to rtf and then work on them. the only problem would be knowing where the page breaks and numbers belong, but I seem to remember--and I might be wrong because it was quite a while ago--that there were spaces between txt pages, though not hard page breaks.
