        @BernardKeane No really. But Im sure thats not the reason. These days even mobiles render .doc without problems. So no idea why they do that

        @BernardKeane slightly outdated approach to accessibility - some PDFs are not readable by technology to help sight impaired

        @BernardKeane because so simple a format that it should be readable on any platform and future proof (well, resistant)

        @BernardKeane It's a hangover from after 9/11 when the US turned against the French. Hence, Root The French. You see more RTC these days.

        @BernardKeane My understanding is RTF files are readable by most word processors. Reduces compatibility issues.
