There doesn't seem to be a way to open RTF files in Word on iPad. Am I missing something, or is this feature missing? Are there plans to add support for this popular file format?

    I too still work with files in .rtf and assumed this format would be supported when I subscribed to Word for iPad. Any chance of getting this added?

    I open .RTF documents on my iPad using "Documents by Readdle", which is free on the App Store.
