The problem is that WordWorth 5 RTF filter is not able to handle RTF files that
have control words that it doesn't understand. This means that WordWorth 5 RTF
filter is plain useless to import RTF files written in most of the current
word processors.

The only RTF files that I was able to import in WordWorth 5 were files exported
by WordWorth 5 itself.

FinalWriter 5 RTF filter was made to work properly regardless of the source of
the RTF file. FinalWriter 5 RTF filter understands all the keywords defined
up to the last revision of the RTF specification, which is the one that MS Word
7 for Windows 95 is compliant with.

Furthermore, FinalWriter 5 RTF filter won't break with RTF documents compliant
with future revisions of the RTF specification. So, rest assured that you won't
be disappointed by FinalWriter 5 RTF filter as many of the users were
disappointed with the so called WordWorth 5 RTF filter.
