Well, it's a Microsoft standard with fairly accessible documentation,
though at times it's been hard to get a hold of the documentation
associated with the current version of Word. It does change at
Microsoft's whim, and iirc has stuff in there like flags for table
behavior telling whether to act like one version of Word or another.
It used to be more open than it is now, I think....
Believe it or not, I believe that generally, there is more Linux
support for Word format than RTF.
