How to Convert to Rich Text Document
Though modern communication now excites with images, video and audio, words and sentences are still an important component. The most convenient format for sending written documents online or as a file is as a .txt file, which unfortunately removes all formatting so it can be read by any text-handling software. To preserve most formatting in such writings, you need to save it in Rich Text Format, which can be read by nearly all word-processing programs.
