This should be a comp.text FAQ, but isn't...

Where can I find a current (PostScript, say) version of the
Microsoft RTF specification?

Is it possible to include (without translation to some
bitmap, say) PostScript figures within RTF?

Thanks.

A quick test shows that an EPS file opened with MS-Word 5.0 and saved
as RTF is converted to a bitmap. This doesn't conclusively prove that
it isn't possible, but suggests that it's pretty doubtful. But since
you can now get the spec, you'll know for sure real soon.

Have fun!
