E,

The main reason I convert to Word to work in is
because my computer does it automatically anyway, and
so, if I keep the document in rtf, it takes longer to
open it. Not terribly longer, but a few seconds. If
there are good reasons not to convert to Word and then
back to rtf when I'm ready to upload, I'm happy to
change my procedures. As I said, I've noticed no
difference whatsoover between the two, but maybe I'm
missing something.
