Frequently Asked Questions

What is an RTF file and why would I need to view it?
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document format developed by Microsoft that preserves text formatting across different word processors. You might need to view RTF files when receiving documents from others, accessing archived files, or when you don’t have the original software that created the document.
