What actually changes
RTF and DOCX are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The RTF control words are mapped onto Word's document model and written as OOXML. Styles become real styles, and embedded images become compressed image parts instead of hex text.
Worth knowing first
RTF has no concept of styles the way DOCX does. Most RTF generators emit direct formatting on every run, so the converted DOCX looks correct but has almost no usable style structure, and updating a heading style will change nothing.
Questions
RTF to DOCX, answered
Will the file get smaller?
Usually much smaller, because images stop being stored as hex text and the XML is ZIP compressed.
Do mail merge fields survive?
Simple fields usually do. Anything the generating application invented does not.
