      Maybe images? I checked my system. I have 105 RTFs. If you   
   have over 10K then it sounds like it's time for some housecleaning.   
      
     I've used a RichEdit window for many years in my own code editor.   
   It's wonderfully powerful and the format is published. Though I'd   
   agree that Wordpad/Write is not very useful. It's the power of RTF   
   squeezed through a narrow funnel. If I want attractive formatting   
   I use HTML. These days, an HTML file can even have the images   
   embedded inline as base64. I keep VBScripts on my desktop to do   
   just that.
