Re: [libreoffice-users] The RTF export and import stuff

Hi :)

I am sorry but my plan to just attach various documents from work after using 
"Save As .. " to get them into rtf format hit a slight snag.  Most of the  
documents ended up being larger because the hidden codes and stuff didn't get 
removed.  I tried creating a new document as an rtf but it still ended up having 
extra characters that rtf doesn't need and the odt was about 10 times smaller!  
The odt was 71.4Kb and the Rtf was 611Kb!

Sorry chap!
Regards from
Tom :)

Wow, nice Miklos. Its not everyday that a developer comes up and
shares his work with us users. It would be nice if you would blog
about it sometimes, maybe tag it so somebody like me who doesn't have
any programming knowledge (and doesn't want to) can come and see what
progress is being made in that.

On the other side, what would you say would be a good strategy to push
other text-editors to use the spec. or come close to it. What they
need to look at, I can atleast ask in abiword, gedit and other
open-source text-editors even if its just as a wishlist bug. Would
need that info.

Lastly, I have just subscribed to the nomail version of the list.
While the traffic is not much now, in the coming days I do feel its
going to be big and I don't want to be distracted by other
discussions. As already said not a programmer so many things which
would be discussed may be those as well as other wishlist stuff.

Anyways, looking forward to knowing more from you.

Thank you for your time.
