Product Description

Product Description

Rich Text Format, or RTF, is the internal markup language used by Microsoft Word and understood by dozens of other word processors. RTF is a universal file format that pervades practically every desktop. Because RTF is text, it's much easier to generate and process than binary .doc files. Any programmer working with word processing documents needs to learn enough RTF to get around, whether it's to format text for Word (or almost any other word processor), to make global changes to an existing document, or to convert Word files to (or from) another format. RTF Pocket Guide is a concise and easy-to-use tutorial and quick-reference for anyone who occasionally ends up mired in RTF files. As the first published book to cover the RTF format in any detail, this small pocket guide explains the syntax of RTF with examples throughout, including special sections on Unicode RTF and MSHelp RTF, and several full programs that demonstrate how to work in RTF effectively. Most word processors produce RTF documents consisting of arcane and redundant markup. This book is the first step to finding order in the disorder of RTF.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit out of date, 15 Sep 2009
By P. Bensky "Patsky" (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is much easier to understand than the RTF specification published by Microsoft, which is rather technical and difficult to read. However, it is quite out of date and can be a little misleading because it tells you how to do certain things the way they were done some years ago ... the RTF specification continues to evolve, but this book does not.
