not really a linux question, i know, but hopefully someone will know the answer. as editor of a fife & drum magazine, i send the edited text in .rtf files to our art and design editor in connecticut, who then imports them into some publication software called quark. amazingly, when this is done, the italicizing, bolding, accent marks, etc. all seem to get lost. does anyone know of a way around this problem? tia, dan j. daniel moylan 84 harvard ave brookline, ma 02446-6202 617-232-2360 (tel) 810-454-1823 (fax) jdm@moylan.info www.moylan.info -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
