I found that, in my first round of quick tests, I like Times New Roman at 20pt in an rtf file. I don't like really tiny text, so I have to bump it up to that size to get a reasonable s/m/l size. Other people might not want that big. It's just what seems to work for me. More experimentation might change my opinion in the days to come. The other thing I have to do to prepare the text is to remove and paragraph marks or double line breaks that are where text should flow within a paragraph.
To do that, I use MS Word mass replace (all occurances) as follows:
*) Mass replace ^p with <$$> (anything that's a distinct pattern works)
*) Mass replace <$$><$$> with ^p (to remove the double paragraph marks)
*) Mass replace <$$> with a space, to allow text to flow naturally
*) Mass replace ^l^l with ^l to remove double line breaks.
I don't know if this works for every document, but it seems to be a reasonable way to do it.
I use rtf instead of txt because I think it stores formatting like bold in the document, and it also probably keeps track of the font. I don't know exactly what it stores, but it must be more than txt, so that's enough for me!
