Rhonda, what do you use to read those RTF-files?
My experiments with RTFs created through NCU had mixed and rather underwhelming results. The only thing that was able to display them (them being the horror notes with all ink, shapes & text) halfway properly was MSWord98 in OS8.6/9 - the irony! AppleWorks and basically everything else would ignore ink & shapes, and so does JournalSync today (great thing otherwise).
Sometimes, when I get my paranoia, I feel a strong desire for an app that will take all my Notes off the Newt in one go and then turn them into RTF or PDF - WITH all ink & shapes intact. Is this even possible?
