Hi Scott: Try launching the file into Word. It's under the advance menu. Hit enter on Word, it will open Word and then you can save it as rtf. Hope this helps.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Natasha & Fossey To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 1:31 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: strange occurrence with rtf file 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.
