Discussion
Writes the document-level attributes in doc, as explained in RTF Files and Attributed Strings.
Raises an NSRange if any part of a lies beyond the end of the receiver’s characters.
When writing data to the pasteboard, you can use the NSData object as the first argument to the NSPasteboard method set, with a second argument of NSRTFPboard. Although this method strips attachments, it leaves the attachment characters in the text itself. The NSText method RTFFrom, on the other hand, does strip attachment characters when extracting RTF.
