All about RT_ Files
The RT_ file type is primarily associated with WordPad.
What is an RT_ file?
RT_ files mostly belong to WordPad. The RT_ file is a Rich Text Format document that stores text along with embedded instructions for layout and style.
These files use a plain text markup that defines fonts, colors, and spacing to preserve the document’s look across different systems.The standard use case is as a formatted text document where the markup directs how the text appears. Some RT_ files act as templates that provide preset formatting and layout for new documents, a method notably used by WordPad. FilExt.com tip: You should open these files with a word processor that understands the RTF standard to see the formatting as intended.
