DOC to RTF

Converting from DOC to RTF has the advantage of built-in support in all computers when viewing RTF files in contrast to DOC files which requires Microsoft Word installed. The advantage of RTF is with it being free, built-in into all computers and still provide you with a lot of options when it comes to style and formatting of your document.

In order to convert you will need to be able to view the DOC file. If you can't, ask the person who sent you the document to do the conversion for you as follows. Then resending it back to you, you will be able to view it.

1. Open your Document in Microsoft Word

2. Click on the "File" menu (Can also appear as a big round button on the top-left corner) and under "Save As", select "Other Formats".

3. Change the Save as type into "Rich Text Format" (Note: you may need to scroll down in order to see it). Give your file a name and choose a location (e.g. Desktop/My Document). When finished hit "Save"

 That's it! You can now close Microsoft Word and go to where you saved your new .rtf file.
