Thanks to all of you who gave me information about what txt files do and don't
retain. I'll try the
two-dashes for the em dash that Sarah suggested and won't bother about italics
or anything, or different
fonts.
My machine gives me options of saving in text only,text with line breaksm
MS-DOS text, MS-DOS text with
line breaks, unicode text and text with layout. This document, when I opened
it, was in text only and so I
thought I'd better keep it in that. I do know that if I change it to Word or
rtf I can't upload it. If I change it to
one of the other forms of text willI I be able to upload it, or do I have to
keep it as it is? I don't know if any
of the other forms will keep anything like italics or em dashes, but if they
don't translate into what you
hear if you're listening to a book or into Braille, then there's no point --
and maybe I won't bother with
those any more when I do rtf documents -- though there are some members of
bookshare who are
sighted enough to read, are there not? I don't know what Daisy is --is it
audible or visual?
