Open .rtf File on Chromebook

Many of our students take online classes through CCC which require the downloading and manipulation of documents that come in an .rtf format.  This stands for Rich Text File and is commonly used with Microsoft Office documents.  Since we don't have the Office Suite, we must create a workaround.  Below is the workaround, which brings the file into Google Docs and works great.

1.  Download the file.
2.  Open your Files app, which should have the recently downloaded file in the Downloads folder.
3.  Drag the file to your Google Drive.
4.  Open Google Drive and open the file from there.
5.  Choose open with Google Docs and you will be able to work with the document.


Below is are directions for another way to do this:
