Ok.  Stop there.  Now repeat the same steps substituting RTF for TXT.

Sure, RTF supports many of THE most commonly used text editing features (bold/italic/underline, 
tabs/indents/spacing, font face/size/color) but it doesn't support many advanced Word features (widow/orphan 
control, footnotes, column layouts, etc.) and if you are relying on a document that involves those features 
will Word inform you that your target file format is not sufficient for what you are trying to save?  Or will 
it just silently assume your document doesn't care about those features and save what it can, effectively 
discarding those features when you close out your session?
