RTFs on the PRS-500
Can someone give me an RTF file that uses all the features of the format (including pictures and TOC)? I want to forward it to Sony as an example of what doesn't work on the PRS-500.
Also, is there one or multiple standards for this file format? Are these extra features nonstandard additions to the file format? |

All you have to do to see what doesn't work is create links in the RTF and add in graphics. They won't work. |

Hi Nate,
I've attached a very simple RTF. With an image, Table of Content (TOC) and some text. Just a note the TOC shows up, but it is not hyperlink enabled. NOTE: This is also a PRS-505 issue. =X= Last edited by =X=; 08-06-2008 at 12:43 PM. Reason: Updated description/Updated emphasis |

If you have Microsoft Word or Open Word (free download) you can create a document with TOC, hyperlinks, images, text, etc. very easily.Maybe import or scan in & edit the Sony manual to use as an example. If you want to do that, I can do it for you but it will be fairly low on my priorities.

igorsk, slayda, =X=, Thank You.
I have MSWord 2002, and it chokes on most RTFs. The one offered above worked, but I discovered editing it in Wordpad screws it up. I also have OpenOffice, but hadn't thought of using it. |

You could start with a .DOC file with Word 2002 if that would help and save as .RTF.

Two days ago I downloaded the MS Plugin that turns a Word Document to a LIT file.
RMR (Read in Microsoft Reader) This is a plug-in tool for MS Word that turns a doc, or any import file) to a LIT file. This tool works fantastically! It is a good workaround for folks that like their RTF content. I suppose another tool is MobiCreate works, but having a tool built into the word process makes it very trivial to convert. =X= |

RMR is ancient! I'm a little surprised that it still works with current versions of Word .
