After someone mentioned that MS Works might support RTF I grabed my Works
manual and RTFM-ed it.
Yes MS Works can convert a file from its internal format to RTF (and vice
versa, although I didn't try it).
NOTE: RTF import/export REQUIRES the "word processing conversion program"
which I got with Works v. 2. I don't know if this is a standard part of
Works - but you'll have to have it.
When I typed in a file containing the string:
Hello my name is Eric Terrell
with some of the words italicized, emboldened, underlined, etc
and converted it to RTF, here's what I got:
BTW does anyone have a part number for the "Microsoft Rich Text Format Spec"
document mentioned a couple days ago? When I phoned no-one knew about the
document...
Anyway here's MS Work's RTF version of the file, for the curious:
