This is the issue in my case, particularly accented vowels in Spanish, 
and other 'upper' Ascii. 
It was one way around moving files between pc and mac and not messing 
with the changes of accents, but rtf has produced problems attached to 
email recently. Alicia Gordon mentioned this. I ran into two PC people 
rejecting / not being able to open what I sent them. I may try zipping 
the rtf to see what happens.

and Miheer Hemant Mafatlal says 
>And although RTF is an open standard

which, as usual, M$ has perverted - M$ uses "Microsoft Rich Text Format" 
- this differs from the standard - so, even RTF is a bad idea, if one is 
unfortunate enough to use a PeeCee.

so ... 
what can / do we do, those of us who are sent work in Word and must 
resend, return work, as seamlessly as possible? 

tks,
virginia
