CSV to RICH Text Format conversion is the process of transforming comma-separated values (CSV) plain-text tabular data into a formatted RTF document that preserves rows and columns as tables or styled text. This conversion maps CSV fields and delimiters to RTF table structures and text styling so the data becomes readable and printable within word processors that support RTF.
