so, yes, I'd say, use wordpad and not word for rtf documents...
However wordpad won't store metadata and throws a lot of stuff away in the formatting. I think Abiword is a good compromise. Full fledged RTF without the bloat of the word copy. Word makes the rtf longer everytime you save it by adding revision data to the file. See the wiki on RTF.
