RTF's are a bit of a minefield. The standard though published is maintained by one company. The standards are re-released as new versions ad-hoc after each new release of Word. Variations exist between how different versions of Microsoft products display RTF files. They are sort of a text file representation of a binary DOC. Good support by external companies to a single manufacturer standard is always hard to find - especially when the central company practises so many inconsistencies themselves. In the past when i was in a small group that tried to pass information by RTF we finished by giving up and going to PDF. Now either of the XML based formats may better suit instead (although OOXML is a real minefield with poor program support for the standard).
