I have not entered a bug report as somewhere here I thought I had seen that the RTF to XXXX module was not being maintained at present. (I hope I got that right as I can't find it right now!).

Shame really becuase in my own work flow I like to convert from the initial document to RTF, run a series of macros which do all my correcting i.e. indents, ABC LIT Transformer yadayada removals etc and then convert to epub.

Some conversion from TXT files to RTF lose all ¶'s on some occassions and not others without any reason I can discern.

PS> if anyone wants to easily extract text from a PDF into a Word or RTF file install Foxit Reader. Select any word in the PDF with the text selection icon and then a 'CTRL+A' followed by 'CTRL+C' will select all and copy it ready for pasting in to whatever you want to edit it with etc. It makes the ABC Transformer stuff much easier to extract too.
