From what I understood, the RTF Import feature only supports the
features of the StyledText Class.
[New] [All] StyledText: A new read/write property "RTFData as String"
which allows cross-platform RTF generation and parsing. The
parser only supports features found in the StyledText class.
(Feedback ID: ggtkegot)
So what I think is happening is that when you use a StyledText Field and
export that to RTF, you should not have any problems loading the RTF
file back into the StyledText field. What will most likely not work is
loading a random RTF File. For that you need a full RTF parser, and from
what I gather from the release notes, this is not a full parser, but a
subset. If anyone has ever looked at the full specs for RTF, it is easy
to understand why Real started with a subset. Maybe they'll expand on it
in the future. The full specs for RTF can be found at

for the Word 2007 RTF specs). And yes Microsoft regularly changes the
specs, so it's a moving target.
