RTF Import Functionality

[Jason]

This is pretty esoteric - but I'm creating an RTF file for opening in
Microsoft Word. I'm including the tag \viewkind1 to ideally have Word
open up in Page Layout view (as documented in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp).
Unfortunately, it opens in "normal" mode. Does anybody know a trick
to get Word to honor this command?

Hi Jason,

It may be the location of the tag or the way your structuring the document properties part of your document. The \viewkind tag
should, for example, come before any text.
To see how it's used by default in a Word document you may want to open Word, start a new document in Print Layout view the use
File=>Save As and save it as RTF.

If you don't have an editor that will work when you right click on the saved .RTF file from Windows explorer you can use Word to do
it by turning on
[x] Confirm conversions on open
in Tools=>Options=>General
then when you use File=>Open to open the file select 'text' rather than RTF as the file type.

Thanks for the idea - the combo that seems to do the trick is
\viewkind1\viewscale100

Regards,
Jason
