But vice versa works. That is, if one converts a txt
file to rtf before beginning to work on it, and saves
it as an rtf or Word file, the page breaks and italics
et al are preserved. I don't see, literally,any
difference between doc and rtf files. Except that
there are some doc files in the past that I have
downloaded and I have had difficulty opening and
saving as rtf. I think they must have been originally
done in Kurzweill or something other than Word and
converted.
