Default MS Word - what a mickey mouse pile of sh!t.

My version of WordPerfect (10) opens *.rtf files. Yours might too.

Unfortunately Microsoft has made it impossible to ignore it and use
something
else. I lived in Ireland for a year, where nothing BUT the ubiquitous
microsoft word was available on office computers. Although I save all my
documents in rtf, upon my return I discovered I CAN'T convert them back to
wordperfect. THEY MUST BE OPENED IN WORD. And now Microsoft has made it
impossible to complain to anyone who can do anything about it. They set up
some discussion group to allow us to vent our spleen, but never accomplish
anything substantive. They don't provide a single way for me to ask a
simple
question about how I can convert my documents back to WP, thus forcing me
to
use their substandard product. It should be illegal.
