What happened to Save As RTF?

What happened to Save As RTF? I don't find it in FM8, though it is mentioned in several places in the online help. I hear it's not in FM9, either.

It's at the bottom of the drop-down list for the SaveAs options:

It's also still in FM9 & FM10.

Aha, it's only on Save As menu for .fm files. It's not on the menu for book files. Has that always been the case?

It's not there in 7.1.

I doubt RTF ever supported any construct into which an FM book could be saved.

RTF can barely handle primitive FM content.

It's never been on the Files menu when a Book is the active file because the book is just a container for the component files -- there isn't an RTF equivelent.

If you have MIF2Go, however, you can save all component files as RTF that way.
