Hi S.
Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. As I see it:-
HTML - Standard, difficult to produce output faithful to OvPro document,
pictures must be supplied externally to the HTML.
RTF - Non standard proprietary format, changes with every word release,
impossible to produce faithful output, pictures can't be embedded.
OOXML (Word) - Standard (although no current microsoft product currently
supports the full standard, only "transitional), pictures can be embedded.
ODF (OpenOffice) - Standard, pictures can be embedded.
Personally I think ODF would be the best choice, (with more resources to help
the developer).
