a. I'm not suggesting that you install it; I was only offering it as an 
example of a fairly full-featured program that uses RTF as its default 
file format.

b. Atlantis is much more full-featured than WordPad. It supports 
paragraph styles, (and implements them much better and simpler than 
either MS-Word or LO), multiple columns, page/section breaks, editable 
headers/footers, and on and on. It has one of the best built-in EPUB 
translators I've seen, for creation of e-books. It imports ODT files 
nearly flawlessly. And I have found it to be rock-solid in terms of 
stability. No, it's not free; it's shareware with a $35 registration, 
and no, it doesn't run natively under Linux (but I have run it with 
Wine, although not without some rough edges).

c. Again, I'm not advocating for Atlantis, only pointing out its 
existence in a thread about RTF files. I always use it when I need to 
share documents with my Word-bound colleagues.
