Description Unknown 2002-08-08 22:34:27 UTC
It does not translate the documents properly. Instead of a sentence going from 
left to right. It goes from top to bottom.
 Like 
 this
 you 
 know.
But if i open it up in word i save it as a .doc and everything is fine when i 
open it up then in openoffice. The .rtf file format is not able to be changed 
in a program that the users here are using. Is there a setting or something to 
change to allow better compatiblity.

Theres no extra option to make rtf import work differently, please
attach an example trouble causing rtf document to this issue so we can
have an example of what is going wrong. There is a "Create new
attachment" option on the top of this issue
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6865) which you can
use to do that.

RTF file that also displays very differently in Word and Open Office.
Comment 9 cemkaner 2002-09-16 16:09:21 UTC
This file is displayed the same way in MS Wordpad as in Open Office.
MS Word displays it differently--I think MS Word displays it as the
author intended it to be displayed. 

I tested some other simple RTF files,one with a table and one with
several fields on the same line, both created in MS Word. Both of them
were read and displayed correctly by OpenOffice.

I don't know RTF and can't identify the exact difference between the
files. However, the sample file in which the failure occurs seems to
define each item on the page in its own text box, whereas the other
files I've created put the text in the same box.

I created another file with text boxes, attached as foo3.rtf. In Word,
this file reads as "Fubar 1" and "Fubar 2", not quite vertically
aligned, with Fubar 1 nearer the left margin and Fubar 2 nearer the
right. In OpenOffice, this file displays as follows:

I inserted carriage returns for readability. The paragraph appears
highlighted (as if it were a field) and when the cursor is on the
field, the popup box reads SHAPE \*MERGEFORMAT

The RTF filter in OOo does not import drawing objects in RTF files 
from Word.

Wesley, your attached file ( Sample report.RTF ) has a lot of drawing 
objects.

Please see issue 3790
