Therefore, we will start the discussion with two formats present on almost every modern computer:
Rich Text Format (RTF) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
The extension .rtf, which stands for
Rich Text Format, maintains a document's formatting.
To get around this you can save in a more widely-used format - Choose File, Save As and then select
Rich Text Format (RTF) from the Save As Type box.
The two most popular electronic formats used in the industry are RTF (
rich text format), which can be read and written to by most word processors, and pdf (portable document format), invented by Adobe Systems.
As well as cutting and pasting, Markin is able to import two kinds of word-processor file:
Rich Text Format is a format which can be saved and loaded by all major word- processing programs on both Mac and Windows platforms.
With its emphasis on processing speed, even large PDF files are converted quickly to
rich text format for immediate use in Microsoft Word and other word processors.
The accompanying compact disk (CD) includes these same forms in Microsoft Word '97,
rich text format (RTF), and portable document format (PDF).
Acrobat allows you to save a PDF file in
rich text format (RTF), creating a new document that can then be opened and edited using your word-processing program.
Rich text format provides formatting capabilities similar to Word, and is the most versatile and familiar.
Content in PDF documents can be saved in
Rich Text Format and reused in other applications.
