Unfortunately all German Umlauts were broken.<br>
When I opened the RTF file in a code editor I realized that the first line of the file said "\ansi" but the RTF file itself was encoded in utf-8.<br>
So I changed the encoding to ANSI / Windows 1252 encoding, saved and after that I could open the RTF file in Word without any problems.</p>
<p>Instead of having to do that manually, multimarkdown should already save the file with ANSI encoding at creation time.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

I've written multiple times about this over the years, and today collected some of those thoughts in one place. See that page for more information about RTF:</p>
<p><a href="http://support.fletcherpenney.net/kb/general-information/rtf-support">http://support.fletcherpenney.net/kb/general-information/rtf-support</a></p>
<p>RTF is not included at all in MMD-6 (though there was a residual mmd2rtf that would simply result in an error). Whichever file you are using is from a deprecated version of MMD.</p>
<p>I hope this helps explain, and let me know if you have further questions. Or even better, if you want to help implement RTF support!</p>
