Hi Laura Ann,
It does help, if someone would just tell me how to get a RTF file into
Kurzweil.

you can open an rtf in Kersweil.
Yo can use page down and up and go page by page through a document.
instead of screen by screen.
you can edit text as usual.
You can do a rank spelling on a document by going to tools when you
have the RTF file opened in K1000.
arrow down to rank spelling and press enter.
you can then arrow through the list of spelling errors and decide to
replace, replace all or ignore.
Hope this helps.
Laura Ann
