I'll do my best to answer.
1) Changing a file extension will not change the content
within a file. The content in this case is Rich Text
Format. RTF is a very old format, now being replaced with
formats such as XML which indeed will be the default for the
next generation of MS Office.
2) The Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) does import Word
files, and over the years, many improvements have been made.
The main secret is in the judicious use of Word's Styles.
DBT's Word Importer for example, will match Word print
Styles to it Braille Styles. Tables are a hairy issue, and
in our experience need a careful examination prior to
importing.
3) You might like to write to be off list about this
question, since much will depend on what you wish to
achieve. Drop me a line to george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
george@xxxxxxxxxxx
4) DBT is for Windows only. There is only one major
version, currently version 10.5, although a new release is
coming soon. There is a cut down version produced, but
purely for sign writers.
5 & 6) We really need a little more information regarding
what you wish to achieve. Again, perhaps you would like to
write to me off list.
George Bell.

Thanks for the answer. Please answer below questions related
to this:
1. Will changing RTF file extension to
".doc" will work? For example, what happens when I rename
"File1.rtf" to "File2.doc" without opening in MS Word and
send it to Duxbury printer? Do you have any idea about what
are the reasons behind not supporting RTF format?
2. Does it recognize complete object model
of MS Word? Or are there any limitations regarding some
objects or versions? For example, Reports having tables
won't be printed properly etc.
3. How can a .NET application (or any
application) directly handshake with Duxbury translation
software? Do they provide any APIs or it's a pure offline
process?
4. Which are different versions of Duxbury
translation software available?
5. Are there any software design
guidelines or any material available with you? Please send
me those.\
6. Are there any consultants available
whom I can talk and discuss these in more details? If yes
please give me their details.
Thanks and Regards,
Ganesh Gajakosh

No. With RTF documents, you will need to convert them to a
.doc (Word) format, or ..txt.
You can do this in Word, or if you do not have Word, then
you can save to .txt with WordPad.
George.
