The RTF specs are at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q86999

I encourage you to open your RTF in a text editor and see how your
images are being encoded.

The RTF markup looks messy, but its easy to read once you've become
familiar with it.

To get started, save a "Hello Wor(l)d" document as RTF and view it. Then
add an image, save it, and view it.

RTF is not meant to be a general purpose storage format. These days most
people use RTF as a document exchange method (like XML) where the RTF
format can be parsed by other systems that need to import the content of
a document. If you need an efficient storage format, use MS's binary
file format.
