Hi, Cindy. The only thing I could add to this is that, if you use the menus 
and scroll down to whatever format you want your file to be, you don't then 
have to go back and change the extension. It does that automatically upon 
saving, or at least mine does, and I suspect most do. Take care.

No, Lissi.  I gather now that you downloaded a txt
file.Text formats don't save things like italics or
diacritical marks, so if you're going to stay in that
you don't have to worry about them. I don't think it
saves gard page breaks either, does it?

If you want your book to be saved in rtf  you need to
Save As (in my Word program it' s in the File menu)
and scroll down to to Rich Text Format. Then you need
to delete the dot txt and put dot rtf after the title
of the book.

If your book is txt and you want the synopsis to be
txt,  go to the file menu, pull down Save As, then
scroll down to Text Only. The only differences between
txt, rtf and doc seem to be formatting.
