Actually, MS-Word and RTF are two completely different formats.  Word allows
you to save your file in RTF format, but we have found that doing so will lose
some of the formatting information, at least in the Mac version.  Should you
then convert that RTF file to DCA, you will be lucky to retain just the text.
