I doubt whether it'll make much difference since it works in
Word, but the rtf spec requires \ not / and you really only
need \rtf or \rtf1 right at the very beginning of the rtf
stream after the first {. When I developed AccHelp I did a
fair bit of research into RTF's to produce endnoted rtf's
for input to the winhelp compiler- One of the simplest files
I made by hand with TextPad (it's well spread out to make it
more human readable):-
{\rtf\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss Helv;}{\f1\froman Tms
Rmn;}}
\sectd \pard\plain \fet1\aenddoc{\super
#
{\footnote\ftnalt \pard\plain \fs20{\super
#
}{
100
}}\pard\plain
OVERVIEW
\par
Written by hand with TextPad.
}\page{\super
#
{\footnote\ftnalt \pard\plain \fs20{\super
#
}{
200
}}\pard\plain
DETAIL\par
TextPad was used to manually create this endnoted Rich Text
File
}}
Note the \page just after the close of the text Written by
hand with TextPad}
Haven't tried it in a RichTextControl yet but I'm heading
that way because I'll use a similar method for subscript
\sub and superscript \super.
Word actually inserts \par\page if you do a hard page
(Ctrl-Enter) I think the \par (new paragraph) is redundant
just like the vast bulk of crap Word puts into rtf's.
