Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO 3.4.3 Writer cannot handle RTF document

A client asked me the other day to send him an .rtf version of a file I had
sent to him in Word 97/2000/XP format a few months earlier.

I opened the file in LO 3.3.4 [OOO330m19 (Build:401)] and re-saved it in
.rtf format. I then opened the new .rtf file in LO: flawless.
My client, too, confirmed that the .rtf file was perfect for his purposes.
It felt good being able to help him with this.

OS is Ubuntu 11.04, preinstalled on a new local-brand (Steg) box.
