Hi Lisa,
Actually, it worked beautifully! I went back into OpenBook, exported the
file to Word, opened it in Word, saved it to RTF, and all was beautiful.
Bizarre, but good to know.
Thanks for the tip!
Lora

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Validating a Strange .Ark Book
Hi, Laura.
I had that problem when I first started validating. There's a very easy
fix
for it, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I believe I saved
the
file as an MS Word file while in OB and then opened it in Word and saved
it
again as an RTF file as soon as I verified that the funky characters were
gone.
I wish I could remember more accurately how I handled it. I do remember
that I was able to validate the file with no problem once it had been
converted properly.
If you want to release it, I can download it, find out what the fix is and
let you have it to validate.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Lisa

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Validating a Strange .Ark Book
Typically, the first thing I do with a .ark book is extract it to RTF.
I'm
going to read and upload it in that format anyway, so why not?
When I did my Save as, and then opened the RTF file, this is an example
of
what I got.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1 \page \fs22 Praise for \i Wake Up, Sir!\par
\fs20 \par \i0 \rdblquote Jonathan
Ames\rquote s latest comic novel is so brilliant and charming that any
description of it is bound to be impossibly dull by comparison.\rdblquote
\par
\fs18 \par \i \'97Seattle Weekly\par \fs20 \par \i0 \rdblquote
Hilariously
It goes on like that throughout the book. When you look at the book in
Openbook, it looks fine, and there are divisions between pages, etc. In
the
RTF format, there aren't divisions between pages, either.
I've done this same thing repeatedly with .ark books before without this
difficulty. Is there some config setting I can change to make the book
save
properly?
Thanks,
Lora
