Introduction
The Rich Text Format (RTF) specification is a simple encoding method for formatting text and graphics in application. Currently, users rely on special conversion software to convert word processing documents between MS-DOSTM, MicrosoftTM WindowsTM, OS / 2, Macintoshtm, and Power Macintoshtm applications. The Rich Text Format (RTF) Specification is a method of encoding formatted text and graphics for easy transfer between applications. Currently, users depend on special translation software to move word-processing documents between different MS-DOSTM, MicrosoftTM WindowsTM, OS / 2, Macintoshtm, And Power Macintoshtm Applications.
The RTF specification provides an interactive text and graphics format that can be used on different output devices, operating environments, and operating systems. RTF uses the US National Standardization Organization (ANSI), the PC-8, Macintosh, or the character set of the IBM PC to control the appearance and format of the document, regardless of whether the document is displayed on the screen or is printed from the printer. Due to the RTF specification, different operating systems, documents created by different software can be identified in other operating systems and programs. The RTF file created by the Macintoch and Power Macintosh version of the Word 6.0 (and later) provides a file type - "RTF". The RTF Specification provides a format for text and graphics interchange that can be used with different output devices, operating environments, and operating systems. RTF uses the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), PC-8, Macintosh, or IBM PC character set to control the representation and formatting of a document, both on the screen and in print. with the RTF Specification, documents created under different operating systems and with different software applications can be transferred between those operating systems and applications. RTF files created in Word 6.0 ( And Later) for the Macintosh and Power Macintosh Have a file type of "RTF."
Convert a formatted file into the software of the RTF file into an editor. An RTF editor separates the control information of the existing text in the original program and generates a new file containing the original text and the RTF group. Convert an RTF file into a formatted file called a viewer. Software that takes a formatted file and turns it into an RTF file is called a writer. An RTF writer separates the application's control information from the actual text and writes a new file containing the text and the RTF groups associated with that text. Software that translates An RTF File Into A Reader. An example of an RTF viewer (Appendix A: RTF Viewer Program Example) is available herein. It is designed for this specification. I hope it is helpful for developers who are interested in developing their own RTF viewers. Appendix A describes the structure and usage of this program. This RTF viewer is not a commercial product, Microsoft does not provide technical and other forms of support for RTF viewer code and RTF specifications. For more information on how to download this example from the Microsoft Download Center, visit the following web address: www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp and search "RTF Reader". A sample RTF reader application is available. (See the Appendix A: Sample RTF Reader Application section of this document) It is designed for use with the specification to assist those interested in developing their own RTF readers This application and its use are described in. Appendix A. The sample RTF reader is not a for-sale product, and Microsoft does not provide technical or any other type of support for the sample RTF reader code or the RTF specification. for more information on how to download the sample RTF reader from The Microsoft Download Center, please visit the folload web address: www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp and then search on "RTF Reader."
