Re: [libreoffice-users] BUG: Writer seems to ignore some "\par" in RTF file

Tom,

Maybe...

But RTF has one huge advantage, it's very easy to create on other
systems, as it is pure text. The "file" I posted is generate on IBM's
z/OS. Maybe you can tell me how I can generate an ODT file on that
platform?
