Suggestion; when I download the rtf file from the checkout list I save it on my desktop; then I convert it to Word to proof ( Being sighted I find it very difficult to proof an rtf file; and I understand some things like font changes aren't preserved on the rtf file if they are made directly on it. . When I've finished all parts of the proofing process, I save the Word file as an rtf tile to check in That way if I goof and delete something from my Word file, or am not sure about something I have the rtf file to check.
