RichView displays an embedded RTF document1 . RichView is more powerful than Microsoft's® WordPad, considered as a RTF file viewer, since RichView can display footnotes which WordPad completely ignores (RichView recognizes all RTF tokens recognized by WordPad). RichView is not a file editor : you can't change the displayed text. Nonetheless you can copy some or all of it to the clipboard in plain text format2 and you can print the current page or the whole document.
RichView uses encrypted resources to prevent thieves from copying and modifying the RTF document with a standard Windows™ resource editor3 .
RichView also displays a summary (or a copyright notice, or anything else you may want to tell about your document) in a special About dialog box.
Our Review: Interesting that the rtf text format hasn't taken off. RichView provides one further step in its uptake. Check it out but be warned: it is weird to setup and the help file is unhelpful. Nor is it an editor - it can only read files, not write.
