I have a question that is probably so easy for many of you, but I have no idea. I've always sent my indexes in either MSWord or WordPerfect files. I now have...
What program are you working in Jacqui? If you're working in one of the 'Big Three' they all can save files as RTF files and the italics are preserved. A...
... Respectfully disagree. The purpose of rtf is to preserve italics and formatting. If you were to send a plain txt file, then you'd lose the italics. Saving...
