In that case, RTF should be quite easy to deal with. There are two ways to 
approach it, and I'd actually suggest doing both just to learn about RTF. You 
can search for "RTF specification" and download it from Microsoft. You can also 
create a document in Word, and save to RTF. The first approach will tell you 
more about the minimal RTF you could use to get that simple formatting. The 
second approach will show you everything Word specifies, which is a lot. I'd 
bet that the RTF that specifies what you really want to lies in between. (Of 
course, you might just use what Word outputs and be done--who cares if it 
overspecifies document attributes.)
