MS Word gurus? What is involved in converting a DOC file to RTF? |
|
I have 4 lengthy DOC files in MS Word that I need to convert to RTF (Rich Text Format). Is there anything special involved in this - will I lose formatting in charts & tables? Anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks

1. Click File... Save As... |
|
Pick RTF from the drop-down box.
I think the only thing you lose is macros.

Just wanted to see if I'm going to have to review the doc line by line or not.

3. Maybe any tracked changes -- I'm not sure |
|
But why do you need lengthy docs in RTF?

6. software reasons, I think |
|
We have some software that we have to import RTFs into it. I don't think it takes Word files, as we had problems last year with just a straight Save As. Supposedly, something with the margins was thrown off...

4. Doing a save as into RTF should preserve a lot of your formatting |
|
you might lose stuff that isn't RTF compliant (are tables RTF compatible?, stuff like that). But for the most part, saving it as RTF should work fine.
