The keyword in what I wrote was usable metadata. What I found a few years back when playing forensic computer technician was that if I created a file in MS Word, saved it using the .doc format, opened the .doc file and re-saved it as a .rtf file, it contained the usual Microsoft metadata. If I created the file and saved it directly to RTF, the file did not contain any metadata that I could see (using Notepad++ to look at the raw RTF file. I also found that opening the file with Wordpad seemed to wipe all the metadata when I saved the file. Later versions of Word treat RTF more like .doc and save metadata even in a direct save to RTF which might be why Word generated RTF files tend to grow like weeds.

There is a Mobileread wiki on RTF which has some more information on the topic. Check https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/RTF for more information.
