How do I view .rtf files?

[Meatwad]

A member of my group in my class sent me some .rtf files, but I can't view them. When I try to open them I get a file conversion window in Word and none of the choices allow the file to be viewed.

So how do I view them?

You should be able to use wordpad to view .rtf files.

RTF is Rich Text Format. It should be able to open in wordpad as o2brew already stated

Word, wordpad, textedit (Mac OS X), kword, and probably a dozen other programs all work.
