Unfortunately, I have. What I did was figure out what each symbol meant and
performed a complete search and replace across the entire document to clear
out the symbols.

Hi Scott,

    I too am using the latest download for OpenBook 7. I've never
encountered a problem as far as I know, but I've not checked my files that
closely after conversion to RTF. When I scan I always use the ARK format
until I'm ready for submission, then I save using RTF.

 

    I'm obviously not answering your question, because I'm at a loss, I know
OB has some issues because it just needs an overhall, but I've never
encountered this before.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] strange occurrence with rtf file

 

Hi folks,

 

I just downloaded a book from Bookshare with plans to validate.  It was an
Arkenstone file, which, in fact, I originally scanned with Openbook.  I
unzipped the folder with no trouble, opened the .ark file in Openbook, and
then used save as to save the file as a .rtf file.  When I opened the .rtf
file to spellcheck and otherwise proofread, multiple previously unseen
characters appeared.  For example, all the quotation marks had become
rquote, those letters exactly as you see them.  I also saw many instances of
\par \par.  I went back and looked at the .ark file in Openbook, and none of
those things seem to be present.  Still being fairly new to this art, I
wonder if there's some simple explanation for this which I have not yet
learned.  The .rtf file by the way, opens in MS Word ... should that make a
difference?  

 

Anyhow, I am rather perplexed and thought if anyone would know, someone here
could supply the answer.  

 

Thanks,

Scott Blanks
