Rich text files retain much of the formatting from other formats.
For example, if you change a Word document into RTF, you will have your
tabs, fonts, formatting intact.
Boldl will still be bold, italic will still be italic.
A plain text file will remove almost all the formatting in a document,
leaving you with just the text.
The advantage of a Rich Text file is that it can be easily opened in
various word processors.
That's why we, at Optasia Ministry, put most of our files into RTF
format, to make sure our users can open them no matter what computer or
word processor they are using.
I convert a document to plain text sometimes if I want to remove all the
formatting, which in a limited number of situations, has some value.
If you are using a device like the PAC Mate, it is also easy to access
RTF files with the FS Edit program that comes with PM
Blessings,

This might sound dumb What is the difference between a text file and
a rich
text one?
