Thanks Shelley and Rick
I tried your suggestions and, unfortunately. they didn't solve my problem. I
have been messing with this off and on for several days and am at my wits
end. I think there may be a problem with the rtf files Omni Page produces
but I don't really know. Also Word crashed a couple of times during the
process and apparently there are some updates for word with regards to
producing ebooksthat I might try downloading.
Any other hints or help will be appreciated.
Thanks again Sam
