After I've downloaded and saved the rtf file I open it in Word, save it work on it in Word, then change it to rtf just before uploading it. aI'm not sure rtf saves some fonts and page breaks. someone else ill know. I'm sighted and the layout of the rtf files confuses me. I like to look at the file in Word in Normal view. That's just me. I have Microsoft Word X for the Mac, 1983-2001. But recently a file I downloaded wouldn't work properly. My husband ascertained that it had been saved in a different Word (older? newer?) and he had to install the one I wanted to use.

I know practice and the routine of doing them over and over for books will make it easier. Hahaha. Hopefully after successfully completing this one, I won't feel so daunted. *sheepish grin* > >My question is about the font. This particular book has a font that my Word 2003 doesn't have installed, so it said it would show me the closest font available. I understand that Times New Roman is an easy font to read, and know from the documentation that it's a recommended font. I already know that I can't change text. But is it okay to change the type of font. In other words, could I select the entire content of the rtf, change it to times new roman 12 point, and then change the size of particular chapter titles, book title, etc, as required? > >Any info is very much appreciated! > >Thanks much! > >Kim > >
