Is Rich Text Format (.rtf) Now Default Extension?

Post by gorgygirl »

I've been away from CC a few months and when I prepared a recent article for submission, I see that the first file to download is in Rich Text Format. Before, I saved all my files/articles in .doc (Word) and submitted them in Word even though I use a Mac. Now my default seems to be .rtf. So, is it okay for me to submit an article in rtf or am I having problems with my system? I don't want a rejection for a formatting error.

yeah, they automatically generate an RTF, because it's more universal than other file formats (I'm guessing this is the reason)

You copy/paste the text to the editor, so you don't have to upload files anymore, which is pretty freakin sweet.

Hi Lysis,

Thanks for the information. The new system does make it easier to handle files.
