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 it's not such 
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).

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.
Screwdrivers and hammers both have their respective purposes.
