Hi Dan, I downloaded the file, and opened it in Word 2003, and got all those codes you were talking about. I opened the file in Kurzweil, and it seemed to display just fine. I can tell by the types of quotes and apostrophys in the file that it originally came from OpenBook. We've seen this problem before with a few files that OB generates. I don't think we ever found a solution to getting these to open correctly in Word though. So no, it's not just you. And for anyone else interested in validating this book, it looks like a pretty good scan.

I downloaded this book thinking I'd validate something that I wouldn't normally read. I extracted it and opened it in Word. It is full of what looks like some kind of control strings or something. It has lots of \par, \fs, \page and other strings. It says it is an RTF but I've never seen this kind of thing in an RTf before. Does anyone else know what this is and how to handle it? It is released back onto the validation list if anyone wants to look at it. Thanks.
