Thanks to everyone who responded to my request. The answers were very helpful.
First an apology, then, a summary:
Apology: Sorry for wasting bandwidth for something that is evidently in the
FAQ. I will check it out next time it is posted.
Summary:
1) AMI' Pro? One person said they thought it could support RTF. However, a user
looked in the doc and could not find anything about it. It can export into Word
format but no mention is made of RTF.
2) TryWord. Available from MS for $10 (also include in the book "Learn Word for
Windows Now" for $30). This is a scaled down version of Word
(it can only support text files of ~7K bytes).
3) There are two helpful publications (to Charles Jones: if you write a
converter, please let me know):
a) "Microsoft Rich Text Format Specification" available
by calling Microsoft Support (206-454-2030) and asking
for a copy. They'll send it to you via mail.
b) "Rich Text Format Standard Makes Transferring Text Easier",
an article which appeared in the March 1987 Microsoft
Systems Journal. This is an introduction to RTF which
covers all of the basic info.
