- Wide sheets can exceed the page width and may need manual layout fixes; macros do not transfer.
Frequently asked questions

The spreadsheet grid is placed into the document as a table with basic formatting such as bold, fonts and simple borders, since RTF supports lightweight document formatting.
Why convert an XLS to RTF?
RTF is a portable document format that nearly every word processor can open, making it a safe choice when the tabular data needs to travel as an editable document.
