Note to Janelle and to the RAs:

The HCMC computers do not have MS-Word. If we are editing working files, use OpenOffice. If you are on another computer and need to convert a .doc or .docx file to .odt, do NOT use MS-Word to save the file as a .odt file. The comments (where we record so much information for our encoders) will be stripped away in the file conversion.

Instead, save and close the .doc/.docx file. Then, start up OpenOffice and open the .doc/.docx file. Now you can save it as a .odt file without losing the comments.

Remember: File names must not include spaces or punctuation.
