Unicode RTF export

[tkuypers at pandora.be]

Sorry Ron, the idea is ok, but I need to import this data into an InDesign
layout automatically, nu user will touch this file after correcting it in my
app...
So it needs to be RTF or native Word... RTF it will be, as long as the
correct export can be done...
