Description ostkamp 2006-11-13 18:45:18 UTC 
This report is created on behalf of a member of the German users-mailinglist.

The attached RTF file, which was created using a genealogical program, fails to
import in Writer, which displays just an empty page.

Microsoft Word however opens and displays this file without problems. If the
file is exported to RTF after loading it in word, the result can be used in OOo
as well.

Please have a look why the import of the original file fails.

MRU->HBRINKM: the file "orig.rtf" will open in Writer only as an empty page; the
whole text wil be ignored. However, creating a new version (also available in
the zip) with MS Word will import correctly.
It looks that the 3rd party product creates something like a simplified RTF code
which Writer isn't able to recognize.

I have a similar behavior:
my rtf document is generated with JasperReport, it has text in the top of the
page, text and horizontal lines in the bottom.
When I open with Open office 3.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, OO 3.0 and 3.1 on
Windows XP (virtualized host 64 bit, guest 32 bit), I can see just the line.
MS Word open file correctly, MS WordPad I can't see the lines but it's normal.

Thank you
