Using Tables in RTF

Question

I need to create a table in an RTF file. However I am not familiar with RΤF. Here is an example of a text file that these RTF files are supposed to replace:

Answer 1

Editing directly in RTF becomes quickly unreadable. Pehaps this practical approach works better: - Create an example mock-up ( in Excel or Word ) using unique identifiers as placeholders ( example "(P1)" ) - Then save as RTF - Open the RTF in notepad - copy the RTF codes "as is" and replace the placeholders with actual values in your program

Answer 2

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0
\trowd
\cellx1000
\cellx2000
\cellx3000
\intbl cell 1\cell
\intbl cell 2\cell
\intbl cell 3\cell
\row
} 

This will give:

---------------------------
|cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |  
---------------------------

A row is delimted with \trowd ... \row

Each cell ends with \cell

\cellx determines the right side of the corresponding cell in twips
