Here is a new RTF export I just worked up. Creates full character sheets. Works well with WORD if you select the Powers and Equipment and insert table then autoformat the table. If you include the bold text at the top (Cost Powers End, for example) and use Simple3 it makes nice looking tables. I wanted to create the tables in the hde but no such luck. The learning curve is steep with RTF. Steeper than HTML that is for sure! However I did find this site to be quite useful:
Rich Text Format (RTF) Version 1.5 Specification (http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm)

Enjoy!

Kudos on the template!
I learned the RTF tags as well. I have created a few RTF export templates on the free stuff page if you want to check them out.
The only comments I can make right now is that you have several unnecessary tags in the template that don't do anything, but it really isn't a big deal as they will just be ignored anyway.
I'm glad to see more clean RTF code though.
I'll actually test it out this evening, and post any other comments then.

Thanks a bunch, I tried to get rid of as much unnecessary stuff as I could find. What other baggage would you suggest dumping?

I am not happy with the way it renders the martial arts to be honest. I group my martial arts into a list with a discriptive name and I can't see to be able to get JUST the name of the list using the MARTIALARTS tag and then the manuevers using the manuevers tag. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? Oh ho ho... Don't even get me started... I fought with that for about a month I think. Ask Dan about it sometime ;).
I would suggest that you simply download and look at my Writer'sGuidelines RTF Template. I spent a very long time getting Martial Arts to work, and wouldn't wish it on anyone else.
