Lora, That's what the RTF file would look like if it were renamed with a TXT extension instead of converting to TXT. The page breaks are there, but are represented as text instead of the Form Feed character, and since your software isn't processing the rich text commands, it doesn't know about the page breaks. Make sure your filename ends with a single extension and that it's RTF. If the file is named properly, then Word-or whatever you normally use for editing RTF documents-should be the software that opens it if you hit Enter on it from My Documents. If this is what's happening, then OpenBook probably wrote some invalid RTF code when it created the file, and I'd use Jake's suggestion of launching Word from OpenBook to solve the problem.

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?
