Personally, I don't use RTF/Word (for a bunch of reasons). However, it seems that the configuration option RTF_STYLESHEET_FILE should be a place to configure the RTF output to your needs.

If you're not interested in a Word-editable document, I would suggest using LaTeX for creating PDF. Out of the box, it has no fancy formatting, but you can tailor that with either the EXTRA_PACKAGES or with the LATEX_HEADER config option. (This assumes some familiarity with LaTeX, but it is probably cleaner than messing around withRTF.)

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I do not feel I have any choice regarding Word. My  
company is obsessed with  creating Word documents for everything.  
Personally, if I was an end user  of the API documentation I create  
for the libraries I develop, I would  much prefer to have the Doxygen  
HTML output.

It sounds like learning LaTex or figuring out how to configure the  
RTF  to look more like the HTML output could be a career in itself and
either approach may may not succeed. I guess I choose to  
procrastinate. :-)

Thank you very much for your advice!
