About RTF and PPT

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a portable text format readable by virtually every word processor, supporting basic formatting like bold, fonts, and colors, but not macros or advanced layout.

PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation) is PowerPoint's legacy binary format, predating the XML-based PPTX.

What to expect: RTF carries little to no formatting of its own, so the PPT output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
