Terry and Klaus:

Thank you. I'll try Klaus' tip first. It seems less radical.

Regards,

P.

Or, if you don't want to loose all formatting, open the RTF file in WordPad
and save.
WordPad doesn't support lots of the more advanced Word features.
It's hard to predict exactly what you'll loose... The resulting RTF file
will still have most of the "usual" formatting, but will be much smaller.

Regards,
Klaus

Yes. Save the file as TEXT Only. Then the RFT codes will be removed.
