RTF in OpenOffice seems to have some problems, at least it did on
version 2.0.4 (I haven't had a chance to try it since I went to 2.3).
If you do a document as a .odt file, formatted as double-spaced,
paragraphs indented (standard manuscript), and then do a Save As-> RTF,
a lot of the formatting info is lost (you have to close, then reopen the
RTF file to see the problems). The first paragraph is OK, the rest of it
gets the default single-spaced, no indents format.
If you reformat it correctly AS AN RTF FILE is will keep the correct
formatting across subsequent close and open cycles.
So I would be cautious about recommending RTF to users. I have to use it
sometimes and have learned to deal with it, but I wouldn't suggest it,
especially to newbies.

You have to save or email in Word format, as Microsoft refuses to

Or in PDF format if the recipients do not need to edit the
documents.
Perhaps you guy's are forgetting .rtf?
Actually .rtf is not much use for much beyond basic documents and
formatting. The delivery often fails to meet the expectation.
(therefore RTF often comes through as WTF format?)
