Hi there, I've enjoyed using OOo for a fair while, and I like that it can export in rtf and doc etc. But one of my worries is that often things are not quite the same. I understand the reasons for this and am not apportioning blame but have a question.

Can I use RTF as OOo's _native_ format? I've set it as the default, but I don't know if the temp files are internally written as rtf or something else. I want to know if, for example, OOo will let me do things which it cannot actually save/record in the RTF format.

Background to this question is part of my work on a book/article I'm writing in wikibooks on _Future Proofing Electronic Records_ in which I recommend the RTF format as it is the most widely supported (yes, I know about OpenDocument etc, read the article before suggesting that RTF is a poor choice.)

You are very welcome to edit and improve the article.
