Frequently asked questions
Does the text change when converting to RTF?
The text transfers verbatim. RTF wraps it with a default font and formatting structure, but adds no styling of its own unless you apply it afterward.
Why convert a TXT to RTF?
RTF is a portable formatted-text format that nearly every word processor reads, and it lets the text carry basic formatting like bold, italic, fonts, colors and simple tables that plain text cannot hold.
What can open an RTF file?
Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and Google Docs all open RTF. It stores formatting as plain-text control words, which keeps it broadly interchangeable across word processors.
Can an RTF from my text contain anything unsafe?
No. Plain RTF cannot hold macros or VBA the way
.doc/.docm can, so nothing executable is introduced by the conversion; the output is just formatted text.Programs that convert TXT: Microsoft Word · AbiWord · IBM Lotus Symphony · Microsoft WordPad · Ability Write · NeoOffice · KWord · OfficeSuite
