The .RTF (Rich Text Format) file extension is used for documents that contain text files with formatting attributes. It is supported by various different text processors, such as Microsoft Word, and can be used for documents created in these programs. The .RTF format is supported by several other programs, including OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and various other word processors.
Formatting and Compatibility
The Rich Text Format was created and maintained by Microsoft, but can also be used on other platforms, such as Mac OS X or Linux. It uses a set of codes to specify how the text should be formatted. These codes may include characters or color codes that refer to fonts, font size and type, paragraph spacing, alignment, page margins, indents, underlining, bolding, italics, subscripts, superscripts, figure captions, page numbers, headers and footers. Additionally, integration with graphics and tables can also be achieved with RTF files.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RTF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RTF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RTF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RTF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RTF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RTF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RTF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RTF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RTF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RTF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
