Editing Rtf Text

Question

We are running Authorware 6.5 & want to give users the
ability to edit text, read from external files. This is straight
forward with a simple text file (filename.txt) where we can read
the data from a file then write back the amended data to the file.
We are having problems doing this with formatted text
(filename.rtf).
Is it possible for users to access the Rtf Objects Editor? If
not, is it possible for Authorware to open the filename contained
in a variable using Microsoft Word?

Answer 1

Most computers have it already.
