RTF stands for "rich text format". Saving a document in this form generally makes it readable in a word processing programs. If you have Microsoft Word, click "file save as" and then choose the filetype drop down and you should see an RTF or Rich Text Format option. You would use this instead of saving as a Word document. -----Original Message----- From: cheryl enyart [mailto:trayne1837inc@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 9:43 PM To: OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OHGALLIA-L] Archiving records on digital media Lawcoloreman@aol.com wrote:While working on "The History of Lawrence County, Vol. 2", our publisher asked that all stories be saved and submitted in the RTF format, and the photos in TIF.
