       --verbose=LEVEL
	      Set level of verbosity [0-2], 2 giving the most detailed output.

       -h, --help
	      Display a short help message and exit.

HISTORY

       AbiWord	was  started  in  1998 by AbiSource Inc., a company founded by SourceGear corporation. The initial plan was to build a free office
       suite named AbiSuite, encompassing word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications. As they didn't have a  usable  product  when
       their venture capital was up, the code already developed (namely AbiWord) was made open source.	AbiWord development was subsequently taken
       over by volunteers and is driven by the community to date.

TROFF2RTF(1)						      General Commands Manual						      TROFF2RTF(1)

NAME

       troff2rtf - convert troff documents to Rich Text Format

SYNTAX

       troff2rtf [ -mxx ] [ -S charset ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       troff2rtf  processes  documents written to be formatted with troff (or nroff, or any of the other *roff variants) and converts them to Rich
       Text Format.  RTF is a reasonably portable interchange standard; files in RTF format can be read by a variety of applications, e.g., Micro-
       soft Word, WordPerfect (Macintosh version 2.0 and up), WriteNow.

       The  main use for troff2rtf is to make it easier to transport troff documents for use with microcomputers.  First, convert your document to
       RTF:
	      % troff2rtf [options] file > file.rtf
       The available options are described below.  The one you'll most likely use is -mxx to specify a macro package like -me or -ms.  If the doc-
       ument contains tables, the conversion can be done like this instead:
	      % tblcvt file | troff2rtf [options] > file.rtf
       Then move the RTF file to your target machine and read it into your document processor.

       Optional flags may be given to modify the operation of troff2rtf, as follows:

       -mxx   Specify macro package, usually -man, -me, -mm, or -ms.

       -S charset
	      Specify  the  RTF character set.	charset can be one of the following: ansi mac pc pca.  The default is the Macintosh character set.
	      For documents that you intend to use under Windows, -S ansi is a better choice.

BUGS

       Table output generated when troff2rtf is used in concert with tblcvt has been known to crash Word outright; caution may be  in  order.	In
       addition, you may need to read the resulting RTF document into a word processor and tweak column widths manually.

       Word97  adds  support  for vertically merging table cells (using the clvmgf and clvmrg control words).  troff2rtf supports vertical spans
       using these controls, but earlier versions of Word don't yet understand them.  Consequently, what you'll see for n-cell vertical spans is n
       individual cells, with all the text in the top cell and n-1 empty cells below it.
