I have a *.rtf file which I want to open as plain text. How can I do this?
2 Answers
TextEdit > Preferences > Open and Save
Check "RTF-files as RTF-code instead of formated text" and reopen the file.
If you want a plain text version (without seeing all the RTF encoding) open the file, then Format > Make Plain Text (shift-command-T). This is going to change the original in the file system, so if you do not want to lose the .rtf version, make a copy first.

Thanks for your answer. You can leave it for others. I wanted to see all the RTF encoding.– testingCommented Oct 7, 2014 at 13:58
