RTF Category
When Arbortext Import/Export is installed and licensed, and one or more element contexts are selected in the Elements list, the RTF category is added to the Arbortext Styler window. This category lets you map Arbortext Styler element contexts to RTF-specific styles and fields to be included in exported documents.
The following table describes the properties in the RTF category.

RTF style name generation
The controls in this group let you specify the type of style names to be generated with the exported document. Refer to Publishing RTF With and Without Using Word Style Names for information on working with style names. The options are:
• Default (Automatic) / Default (None) - this option is selected by default, but the name of the option depends on the value of the Generate RTF style names automatically checkbox in the RTF tab of the Stylesheet Properties dialog box. If that option is checked, this option will be named Default (Automatic). If that option is not selected, this option displays its default name of Default (None).
◦ If the state is Default (Automatic), the selected context in an exported document will be assigned a generated RTF style name which is the same as the element context name when expressed as an XSL context. For example, the context title in sect1 will generate the RTF style name sect1/title, as in XSL terminology. Word has a style name length limit of 253 characters. If a generated style name is greater than 253 characters (which is unlikely) the name will be truncated to that limit.
◦ If the state is Default (None), the selected context in an exported document will not be assigned an RTF style name. The selected context, whether of Block or Inline structure type, will be assigned RTF formatting information as defined by Arbortext Styler properties without referring to a style name. Each corresponding instance of paragraphs and character runs in the RTF document will be independently styled within the document body, using local overrides of the formatting defined by Word’s Normal style (for paragraphs) and Default Paragraph Font (inline character styling).
You must deselect the Default (Automatic) / Default (None) option if you want to select one of the other options.
• User-defined - The selected context in an exported document will be assigned a default style name based on the XSL context selector, which can be modified by selections in the RTF style type group.
• Automatic - The selected context in an exported document will be assigned a generated RTF style name which is the same as the element context name. This setting persists for the context regardless of the state of the Generate RTF style names automatically option in the Stylesheet Properties dialog box..
• None - The selected context in an exported document will not be assigned an RTF style name. This setting persists for the context regardless of the state of the Generate RTF style names automatically checkbox. The selected context, whether of Block or Inline structure type, will be assigned RTF formatting information without referring to a style name.
RTF style type
The controls in this group let you specify the type of style to use for user-defined style names. By default, Arbortext Styler sets the style type corresponding to the selected context's structure type, as defined in the Breaks category. If the context has a Block structure, you will be given the option to specify paragraph styles in the RTF style type field. If the context is of Inline structure you will be allowed to specify character styles. The paragraph or character style option will be checked for you automatically depending on the selected element's structure, and the other option will be unavailable.
• Paragraph - The selected context will be exported as a named paragraph style.
• Character - The selected context will be exported as a named character style
• RTF style name - The name to assign to the exported paragraph or character style, as applicable. Enter a new style name or select from the list of supplied style names.
• List paragraph style - The selected context will be exported as a named list paragraph style. This option is only available if the selected element is of Block structure, since it is an alternative to the Paragraph style name option associated with that structure type.
• RTF list names - The name to assign to the exported list paragraph style. Click the Edit button to access a list of valid list style names
RTF field
The controls in this group specify the characteristics of any Word fields to be exported with the selected context. Click the Edit button to display the Field dialog box, with which you specify the characteristics of the Word field to be exported with the selected context.
