RTF: end of table not recognized - all text placed in last row

'm having troubles with OpenOffice opening the degree plan worksheets from my college properly. They're supposed to be 2 pages, with the notes below the table. But all versions of OpenOffice that I've tried so far make the notes part of the table and all in the first column so that it goes to 7 pages. here's a link to one of the degree plan worksheets... http://www3.austincc.edu/catalog/fy2007/degpsyc01.rtf I've tried with the latest windows and mac versions of OOo and the issue is the same. They open properly under MS Word and if I open the files under MS Word, then save under a different name [but still as an rtf file], then open them in OOo, they will open properly.S.
Looks like a problem of a 3rd party product producing non-spec-conform RTF code. When opening this in OOo Writer, the end of the table is not recognized. All text which is placed below the table will be placed inside the table after import in OOo.
Created attachment 77075 [details] A minimal testcase The attached minimal testcase has the following content A --------- | B | C | --------- D and was created starting with an empty document (from scratch) with MS-Office 2007. If you open the document in OOo/LO you get the following result: A ---------- | B | CD | ---------- I'm not quite sure if MS-Office 2007 produces correct RTF according to the specification, but in my view opening such documents is an absolute reale-World scenario. If not the vendor of the rtf format produces correct rtf, who else? So I think this case should really be supported by OOo/LO. In my new company CIB software GmbH we have got a lot of RTF-documents and we are searching for a good way to migrate such documents into the ODF-Format. Suerly MS-Office has a much better import-filter for RTF than OOo/LO and hence produces much a better result when writing ODF (and thats the annoying part in my view).
