Since then I always make sure no RTF files comes near me ever. 

I have all due respect for your opinion and choice and I am glad you have
the option to do that.

I had never thought of saving all documents in RTF (maybe not a bad idea),
but I do find RTF very useful for the purpose for which it was designed:
portability.
I have used RTF to send Documents and Data/Reports to recipients with
diverse Office-Applications that did NOT have a choice with the
Office-Application they were using (so I have successfully used RTF for
portability).

For no really good reason, support for these RTF character sets is
perfiect in some word processors, almost perfect in others..., and shoddy

The capability of applications that state or imply RTF functionality is not
a reflection of RTF, but on the competence (hence professionalism) of the
developers that implement the Open/Import and Save-As/Export routines.

This is true of *all* software: that includes the Microsoft Word Veiwer 2003
that has problems correctly displaying the Word2002RTFSpec.doc.

Just FYI, Tracey
I normally do NOT use a screw driver as a substitute for a hammer, but I
have used a heavy duty screw driver to pound the lid back on a paint can.
I am not upset that screwdrivers are not hammers.
