Hi Terri: You are correct. While you will have an export option that says "Microsoft Word Document," and while you will get a file with a .doc extension that can be opened in Microsoft word, if you open that file in word, go to the file menu and press enter on Save As, then tab to the files of type item, you'll see "Rich Text Format." This is why when you do export something to Microsoft Word, you need to go into Save As off the file menu of word, tab to the Files of Type, then arrow up to Word Document, tab to the save button and press enter. You'll get a message asking if you want to convert the document to a word document, press Y and you'll have it saved as a legitimate word document.
Another way you can tell that the docs are rich text is if you look at the file size. Word documents are at least 20K in size. For smaller documents like letters that I export, they are usually under 10K.
