To be an Emacs user, Rusi sure have an odd taste in software. The OP wants to use Emacs. My advice is to take the document you (the OP) currently have, convert it to plain text, use Emacs to edit it, and from then on, don't use the .rtf format. Keep it text (best) or do LaTeX if you have advanced stuff to tell. Do HTML/CSS if you want to go web. Etc. No Emacs user should abandon Emacs for a Word mockoff, and for such a lame reason (the format) at that! If anyone does that, he should be excommunicated for 8 years. (If you think that was a silly joke, that is exactly what happens if you defect from Cuba: just imagine.) -- underground experts united
