Make sure at My Books or Home before connecting USB cable.
Make a copy and backup of the file.
Edit the copy
Delete the original
Copy over the edited copy.
Eject and wait for Kobo to return to GUI before unplugging cable.
Reboot the Kobo. Some settings become active after USB disconnect, others need a reboot.

@John F. The Mac isn't like Windows. It's the default Windows Notepad that does DOS format pargraph/newlines. However, I've not used Mac since OS9. There may be a setting, but Mac OS since about 2002 is based on an OS derived from UNIX (NextStep based on BSD), so it would be strange if the default text editor uses DOS formatting.
