file introduction

This is a file similar to the DOC format (Word document), with good compatibility, using the "Word board" in Windows "Attachment" to open and edit. When using the "Word Bode" to open an RTF format file, you will see the contents of the file; if you want to view the source code of the RTF format file, just use the Notepad to open it. That is to say, you can use the "Notepad" to edit the RTF format file like editing the HTML file.
