.RTF files with too many Styles/Formatting

Just a tip: I found out that Book Designer is perfect if you have a Word .rtf with too many styles and formatting inside. Open it in Book Designer and save it back as .rtf. So from .rtf > .rtf.

The most of the styles and formatting are combined/gone etc. All italics are combined as well! :) From here it's just a few simple steps to get all the formatting to your liking.

One caveat, though: BookDesigner will automatically search for certain text formats and tag them - usually as titles and subtitles. This can change the formatting of the text inside the file. I usually look through the list in the Element Browser just to make sure it's fairly sane before saving.
