Ops, sorry I made the mistake writing my code in Mail, I wanted to write :

This really doesn't work for a package file like .rtfd text files
but this code work for standard files.
So is this normal ?
Yes. An .rtfd file is a package containing a file "TXT.rtf". You
can change the creator type of this component to "MSWD" if you want
and open it in Word, without the images, by double-clicking it (why
you would, I don't know) but a folder/package cannot have a creator
type. Within the package you have files of various types and
creators, as you will see if you select it with the control key and
look at the contents.
