How do I change the file association with RM? That should fix it if I could get it into a Word format, then I could save it to rtf. I downloaded everything I could think of from the Micrsoft site. I've been getting along without it for a long time. I can just keep using the individual summary. It works for what I need it for.

You don't change Windows File Associations with RM. You can from Windows Explorer, as I explained earlier today. Right-click on a file of the type you wish to associate with LibreOffice Writer, e.g., RTF and select Open With from the popup menu. Then, "Select default program" and "Browse" to where LibreOffice is installed (typ C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 3.6) and go open its "program" folder. Then select swriter.exe and click "Open". On the next "Open with" window, you should see the LibreOffice Writer icon already selected; if not, select it. Make sure to check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" and "OK". From that point on, when RM saves RTF and automatically calls Windows to open it, Windows will open it with LO Writer. Now, is this a good thing? Nope! Indexes are screwed up. So LO Writer is not going to be satisfactory to anyone wanting indexes.
