Default Why no RTF newsgroup?

Well, it's relevant in that Word uses RTF, one can generate tables in Word
using RTF, and Microsoft kind of invented it.

Also, any discussion of starting a new newsgroup must, by definition, take
place in a newsgroup that is not the correct newsgroup, yes?

Well, that's not something Microsoft can fix. My understanding of Usenet
is
that any user can propose a new NG, but the NG into which you have posted
is
"owned" by Microsoft, not actually part of Usenet. In any case, this issue
is not in any way relevant to use of tables in Microsoft Word.

But there are no newsgroups anywhere - not just no Microsoft newsgroups

Given that RTF is a universal format, not one specific to MS Word, I

can't
see why there would be a Microsoft NG devoted to it.

Am I missing something, or is there not a newsgroup specifically for

RTF
questions? Doesn't it seem odd that we have newsgroups for every
other
possible subset of human existence, but not this particular format
specification?
