What's a .rtf file extension?

[vi edit]

It's showing up as a word doc for an association. Never heard of that file format before. It came from a reliable source, but I'm still hesitent to open.

go to Tools -> folder option -> file type -> pick your extension -> change -> pick programs you want to open it.
