I double checked this by converting a WfW doc to RTF format, converted to a Works document via the Works file conversion command. I made some slight changes in Works, converted it back to RTF, then accessed and printed it from WfW again. And the document printed out identically, except for the slight changes I made. So, it would seem that Works can indeed be used as a low-cost RTF word processor -- with the help of the file conversion commands.. I'd never be willing to give up WfW, though.
