I found below in help, but I tried saving the readme.rvf file in the Editor1

demo as RTF and reloaded an everything looked good. What is missing with

RTF?

main settings affecting RVF saving and loading can be changed in the

TRichView component editor;

- in order to load bullets, hotspots and list levels with imagelist from RVF

you need to create OnRVFImageListNeeded event handler;

- you can save pictures and controls in binary mode or text mode (binary

mode is much more efficient and compact);

- you can save pictures and controls in RVF, or create them on request when

loading;

- if you load pictures and controls in RVF you need to register them with

RegisterClasses procedure (you do not need to register TBitmap, TMetafile,

TIcon and TJpegImage)

- by default, formatting of text and paragraph (i.e. styles) is not saved;

RVF contains only indices of styles; styles can be saved in RVF optionally.
