You are not writing the results anywhere.
Anyway there is one more problem ... you will have to escape the
stuff you want to insert into the RTF. Plus it's sometimes not so
trivial to find the right spot to put the placeholders if you edit
the raw RTF and it's not guaranteed to work correctly if you enter
the placeholder in MSWord or some other editor (the editor may insert
some RTF markup into the placeholder!)
You may want to use my http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz/#Template::RTF
instead.
