Two RTF presentations.

l'enfant diabolique

Hello,
I am working on a large file in Word (English to French translation) and I save small pieces of it in .RTF that I edit in Notepad ++ in the same file (following each other (I merge)).
With a piece of file the presentation changed.
I don’t know how I did it but this presentation is clearer and simpler!
Do you know the manipulation to be done to arrive at this kind of presentation ?!
I remain at your disposal for further information.
Thanks in advance.

.RTF format files are not stored in text mode, i.e., with only “printable characters”, and when using a text editor to modify them you risk making unexpected/undesired changes. I believe you’ll get more consistent results if you export/save as .TXT format before attempting to edit the piece with Notepad++.

Wikipedia shows me I have misspoken and .RTF files are in 7-bit ASCII. Please ignore the previous reply.

Given that it’s valid to edit .RTF in Notepad++, you are now effectively asking how to manually modify .RTF formatting and instructions. This forum is about using the tool Notepad++, not about the programmatic language content of a file being edited by the tool. Thus you should probably ask for help in a .RTF focused forum (if any exists).

Thanks for your advice, and in fact I’ll ask on an RTF forum.
Thank you so much.
