Hi Jane, TextEdit works in two modes: plain text and rich text format. In order to switch from the rich text format of the .rtf file, you need to use the shortcut Command-Shift-T to make this plain text before saving as .txt, or else navigate to the Format menu on the TextEdit menu bar and select the same option associated with this shortcut. Command-Shift-T will also switch plain text format to rich text.
