Yes, not surprisingly Microsoft do:-). What may be surprising is that they'll send you
a copy free. At least they sent me one, hopefully they would also send you one in
the UK.

I called Customer Service and admittedly it took a while before I could find anyone
who knew what I was talking about. I think the document is called something like
          "Rich Text Format Specification"
unfortunately there was no part number or anything. It's a bit large to post but
if you have no joy with MS I could summarize for you.
         
Good luck

Kevin
