exporting images in RTF from runrev

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hey guys,

I've had a wonderful experience creating RTFD files that are visible  
(images too) in both TextEdit and Pages. TextEdit being the default  
application, but opening nicely from within Pages. The documents, some  
as large as 60 MB were created from a brand new TextEdit file into  
which I pasted text and screen shots I had taken from a Windows app  
that I was running on XP under Fusion. I don't remember at what point,  
but I'm pretty sure that after having pasted a shot into TextEdit  
that, the next time I saved, I was asked if I wanted to save it in  
RTFD format, to which I said "yes". Altogether I have a dozen or more  
of these files, totally some 700 MB, and they have continued to work  
beautifully. I recall having copied one of them to paste into a RR  
field to see if it worked. It did, but I don't recall whether it  
pasted both text and images in the same operation or not. I'll have to  
try that out. I just did, and I was unable to paste into a RR field,  
but probably could have created a new image and pasted into it, but  
would not have been in the same scrolling path as it is in both  
TextEdit and Pages. So...

TextEdit really impressed me with how it handled this whole operation.  
Particularly with the size of the files.
