I'm assuming the RTF is in calibre Book Folder, and RTF is associated with Word 2010
  1. In calibre open the RTF - Alt/V, select RTF
  2. In Word save in default format - Alt/F/F->Word Document, the one at top, that will save a DOCX file in the book folder
  3. In Word close the file - Alt/F/C
  4. In calibre open the book folder - press 'o'
  5. Drag the DOCX file over to the Book Details panel (where the cover is) and drop it there, now you have a DOCX in your library, close the file manager window.
  6. Now work on DOCX in Word, and convert it to EPUB in calibre - I'd throw the RTF away.

Not only will the DOCX convert better than an RTF, if it's primarily text it will be typically be a lot smaller, up to 90% smaller!
