Monica,
Yes, I often convert Carrie's books to DOC format when working on them
because some things work better in Word that way. For example, DOC files
save your spell checking progress while RTF doesn't, and I don't always get
the book spell checked in a single sitting.
From what I recall, RTF and DOC are both Microsoft formats so I wouldn't
have expected them to differ in how they dealt with section breaks anyway.

Hi, Tom and Gerald. Well, at least now I know one of the reasons why
Openbook and K1000 aren't updating their FR engines. I do have an
idea though. A bug like this is fairly significant I would think,
although maybe sighted people who just scan for work reasons might
not notice it. Do you know if this happens in doc format as well as
rtf? I'm wondering if maybe Word would see the section breaks
differently if documents were converted into Word format. I do know
that doc files don't save in the same way as rtf and that the file
format for Word XP and Word 2003 save things more effectiently than
rtf. Have either of you tried saving a book as a doc file and
opening that to see if it's different? I don't own FineReader, so I
can't test this myself.
