How to Convert RTF to Docx

How to Convert RTF to Docx thumbnail
RTF and DOCX are file types created by Microsoft.

A document's file format determines the software that can access it. RTF and DOCX are both file formats created by Microsoft. Rich text files, also called RTF, are accessible from several software platforms, such as Word and WordPerfect. DOCX is the file format exclusive to Microsoft Word 2007. This XML-supported file format is not compatible with other versions or software. This means previous versions of Word or WordPerfect users cannot open a DOCX file. Fortunately, it is easy to convert a DOCX file into RTF format, which most programs can read.
