Saving a Document in Rich Text Format (.RTF)

To save a document as a rich text file 

1.  Use "Save As" rather than "Save."  
2.  Click on the arrow at the bottom of the "Save as" screen that opens a dropdown box
     (called  "Save as type" in MSWord and MSWorks).
3.  Scroll down through the items in the list until you find rich text or RTF. 
4.  Click on RTF.  Notice that your file extension is .rtf 
 

To find the document later, you may need to use the drop down box on the "Open" screen (called "files of type" in Word) to change the files that are visible to All Files.
