Since there are many programs that support saving documents in RTF format, we cannot
provide comprehensive instructions for each editor. However, most programs include MS
Word-like menus and features, similar to those discussed within this guide. As long as your
editor supports applying style based formatting, you can adapt the MS Word formatting

instructions discussed in the following chapters to prepare your RTF file for conversion to EPUB.
Our converter will catch many common mistakes and fix them for you or provide warnings so
you can make adjustments to the RTF file to ensure it will look great as an ebook.

What Other Word Processing Programs Can I Use?

You can use any program, editor, or online tool capable of saving your work in Rich Text Format
(RTF), as long as it supports applying RTF style sheets. This includes Google Docs, OpenOffice,
and many others.

Beware Simple Text Editors

Bare-bones text editors like Notepad (PC) and TextEdit (Mac) do not produce RTFs with style-
based formatting and are therefore not suitable programs for use when preparing your file for
conversion to EPUB on Lulu.
