I don't have this "extra space problem". Can you describe more precisely
what it looks like?

If your whole problem is extra spaces (for whatever reason), a simple
ci / // would take care of that, no?

RTF *is* immediately usable. When "Word" sees an RTF file, it opens
it automatically as Word. (It makes the decision for you --- typical
Word philosophy).
