Thanks, user_none....I tried that and it stripped all the quotation marks off completely. Also, all the text was one big block with no breaks

I used the same LiveJournal post and made two TXT files:

One Unicode UTF-8
One Western European (windows)

Then opened Word and saved each of those as an RTF file.

I tried all four files in Calibre, both with the ASCIIizing and without, and can't seem to create a usable file out of any of them.

It's so frustrating because up until now, I've not had any real trouble with TXT files converting to EPUB in a state that I can read it. Most of the time, it was coming out beautifully.

Are there things I need to know to make a good TXT file?

Is all just dependant on the formatting of the web page/blog/LJ I'm saving the text from?

It's killing me that NOW I'm having all this trouble.....
