RTF to Word

About This Tool

This tool converts Rich Text Format (RTF) files to Word DOCX format. It parses the RTF syntax, maps styling and structural cues to Word styles, and outputs DOCX files ready for editing. Conceptually, the pipeline reads paragraph blocks, lists, table structures, font and color cues, and writes equivalent Word XML. It preserves basic formatting (bold, italic, underline), bullets, numbering, indentation, and simple table layouts, while flagging any unsupported constructs for review. The primary users are editors, researchers, administrators, and students who must repurpose legacy RTF documents for editing, collaboration, or archiving in Word. Unique value lies in a scalable, batch-capable conversion that works offline, without requiring local software installation, and with predictable, reproducible results. Core features include single-file and batch conversion, faithful mapping of common formatting, support for Unicode character sets, and configurable style mapping that aligns with common Word templates. Optional advanced options may include font embedding decisions, conversion logs, and compatibility checks that report potential layout drift. Typical use cases cover converting legal drafts, academic notes, and internal memos into Word for review, collaboration, and distribution across teams. The tool emphasizes fidelity of essential elements over perfect replication of complex layouts, ensuring efficient processing and reduced manual cleanup. In practice, users benefit from faster turnaround, easier archiving, and smoother handoffs between drafting and editing phases.
