The Normal.rtf Style Template
Every custom template or RTF document you create is automatically based on the Normal.rtf template file. This is an external file that provides default styles, numbering and other base formats, such as the default list numbering, MasterList. You can edit the Normal.rtf file to apply your own styles to the RTF documents and templates you create.
Access The Normal.rtf template is stored in %APPDATA%\Sparx Systems\EA\RTF Templates
