RTF is "Rich Text Format". It's a text format that retains all of the
formatting of a Word document. RTF is used by several programs (including
Word) to exchange formatted information without having to read each program's
binary file format. If you need to write a program to read formatted Word
files, RTF is the way to go.
You can get the complete RTF description from Microsoft Product Support.
Give them a call at 206-454-2030.
Hope that's what you wanted; if not, let me know!
