The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RTX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TextEdit

Programs to open RTX file
Remember to download programs supporting RTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextEdit with RTX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTX file still does not use the TextEdit program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RTX file with the TextEdit application.
Step 3. Update TextEdit to the latest version
If, however, after binding TextEdit with Rich Text Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RTX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RTX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RTX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RTX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RTX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RTX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RTX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RTX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RTX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RTX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
