If this is your first time dealing with a word processing document, you might be wondering how to save the documents you've just created. There are several formats which can be used to save your newly created document, but there is a wide assortment of formats used by several different word processing software packages. Most of these formats are proprietary, meaning that they are used solely by the software company that created them and are incompatible with other word processing software. There are some formats which were created to be compatible with other word processing software, or at least designed to work when translated through a converter into the necessary format required for viewing. The .rtf format is one of those that are widely supported by most word processing software.

Regtask was able to clean up my computer and speed up the performance! I highly recommend it
Jo H.
My computer was always popping up with registry errors and I couldnt get rid of them. Regtask did the job for me and took less then 5 minutes to speed up my computer.
Samantha J.
I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my computer started to experience random freezes, I just used Regtask and now it works normally again.
David G.
My computer is 5 years old and runs extremely slow now. I was a bit sceptical about using Regtask, but just decided to give it a shot in the end and it worked out fantastically for me.

RTF stands for "rich text format", a document file format created by Microsoft in the mid to late 1980s. Microsoft has retained ownership of the RTF format to this day and has included RTF readers and writers in all versions of Microsoft Word for both the Microsoft Windows operating system and Apple's OSX operating system. Most word processing software can read RTF files as well as save in the RTF format, making this a sort of bridge between otherwise incompatible word processing software. These programs include Microsoft Word, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org and KWord. Other word processing software packages contain some means of translating a RTF format file into the correct format that is necessary for that particular software. Microsoft's own rudimentary built in word processing software, Wordpad, uses the RTF format as the main method of saving a document.

More Info Regarding File Extension Rtf
The inner workings of RTF code are something that most people outside of the software development world will see, but it was designed to be "human readable", meaning that when an RTF file is opened in a rudimentary text editor, the text is legible and the markup is not all that distracting. Along with the raw text, RTF files that are produced by Microsoft Word and other programs will have those files contain a large amount of control codes that are meant to aid in compatibility with older programs. On the other hand, Microsoft Word's native format, DOC, is a binary format that has only a very small amount of actual readable text available, with everything else being essentially "unreadable gibberish".
The RTF format has a few issues that make it rather limited in terms of flexibility and expandability, as well as cause it to reflect its age. The RTF format has very limited formatting capabilities, making it unacceptable for presentations that require feature rich content. The PDF format is usually more capable as well as far more flexible in handling presentations that call for more complex content.
One advantage that the RTF format has is that it can be used as a virus-free method of saving and transferring documents. Other formats such as Microsoft's DOC format allow for the attachment of hidden macros. A virus can be easily hidden in a DOC file as a macro, and possibly infect the computer once the document has been opened. The RTF format does not allow for macros and other attachments, henceforth no virus can be attached to the RTF format file. The size of an RTF file is usually small, so there are normally no issues with transporting these files on a small storage medium such as a USB flash drive. The RTF format was largely created with word processing in mind, but it is also possible to produce RTF files with programming languages such as Ruby, Perl, C++, Java, COBOL and Pascal.
