Indeed! TE isnot as good as many thinks it is. - Also opening RTF files 
made in word Mac/Win will make most formatting disappear.

Have you tried Bean 3.2.x? I use it as a TE replacement because it can 
do much more. It handles lots of formats incl. HTML, RTF, DOC etc. and 
it's feee.

If you want a full easy-to-use textprocessor/editor, I can only 
recommend NisusWriter Pro. NWP uses RTF as default format, but it 
handles lots of file formats. Lots of features like tables, graphics, 
manually and automatically tools through macros, PerlScripts, 
AppleScripts etc.. 14-days free full-working trial available.

NisusWriter is also in a somewhat simpler and cheaper version - 
NisusWriter Express, also using RTF as default, also with the same file 
format handling, macro, script handling. 14-day free full-working trial 
here.
<http://nisus.com/Express/>

Both NWP and NWE have one big advantage. They do handle tables in RTF. 
And to make these RTF files fully compatible to Windows users is just to 
rename the document from .rtf to .doc before sending to a Win-user. This 
will keep ALL formattings saved on a Wintel computer.

Cheers, Erik Richard
