Or get a full-featured word processor, like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice could handle it with no problem. I thought a nice feature to add to the editor would be the ability to export the contents of the editor into a Word Document. A while back, I wrote an article describing how to create a color syntax editor to allow you to edit code for PHP and other languages. Your copy of Windows probably came pre-installed with Wordpad, which can handle RTF. Figure 1 - Exporting a RichTextBox to a Word Document. However, if you want a WYSIWYG editor for the RTF – so it completely hides the codes, and just allows you to apply bold styles, etc, while you’re editing the text – that’s called a word processor, and isn’t what Notepad++ was built for. In fact, if you have a standalone RTF-to-HTML converter and the 32bit Notepad++, you could easily use that Preview HTML plugin to render it.

If you want Notepad++ to render RTF, then you would need a plugin, similar the Preview HTML plugin or Markdown plugin. If you pasted this RTF source code into Notepad++, you would be able to edit it.
