The software you are using right now is a reference implementation for 
ODF. ODF is an ISO standard for office documents since 2006. It is the 
only standard which does not depend on a single vendor, which is 
perfectly documented, extremely stable with a feature set close to 
MSOffice, easy enough to implement without any legal issues.

For RTF I use to recommend the free (as in "free beer") WinWord viewer 
software by Microsoft or the MS WordPad which they put on all their 
computers.
