Thanks, Doug. I appreciate your comments. As I understand it,  
Microsoft created the RTF in the last decade. Here is a link to the  
spec on source forge:
	http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/rtfspec.html

And the spec on the Microsoft site:
	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ 
dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp

Presumably, they are the same.

For my purpose, "pretty good" is good enough. And, it wouldn't  
surprise me a bit if the author of the newsletter switches to an XML  
based word processor soon, but until then...

Apple's Pages does a good job but it adds extra steps and the output  
is about the same for the effort. That says something about the  
issue, I suppose. Onward...

Happy days,
