I know pretty much nothing about open book other than I have heard
complaints like that before. I think that what is happening is that Open
Book is leaving some of its formatting junk in the file when it is
converted, which is really unacceptable. I don't know what rquote could be,
but the backslash par sounds like something marking paragraphs. I would try
saving your file in DOC format as the last step when you are finished
editing it. Then try to open that in Word or Wordpad and see if you have
the same junk. If you don't you can just save to RTF in Word or wordpad and
the junk character problem will be solved. You can hope that no new
problems appear do to the added conversion step.
I would certainly contact Freedom Scientific about your problem, though.
Companies need to know about it when their products miss behave, especially
when it's something as stupid as your problem.

Hi Natasha and list,
Well, I am using Openbook 7.0, with the newest downloadable build. I went
ahead and tried saving the file as an rtf file under a different name, but
the results were still the same. I'm still seeing the rquote and \par
nonsense. Is there another route I could utilize to get the file finished,
i.e. could I save it from openbook as a MS Word doc, and then as an rtf
file? The previous six books I scanned and subsequently validated never had
this problem. I fear I may be forced to just simply embark on a major
cleaning expedition.

Scott,
What version of Open book are you running? I have this same problem
occasionally with Open Book 5.0 as well. What I do to fix it is close all
of open book, re open it, go into the ark file again and save under a
completely different file name as an RTF. A pain, but it usually works.
