Re: [libreoffice-users] rtf files

Hi Carole,

I tried the following on Fedora Linux 4.3.1.2:

 * open a new document
 * format page to include 2 columns
 * populate the columns
 * save as .odt
 * Close and reopen - all good
 * Save the doc as .rtf
 * Close and reopen - not so good. The 2 columns are maintained but the
   contents are in different places.

Is this what you are seeing?

FYI I removed 4.3 and installed 4.1. The problem is not apparent with 
the older version. I have some old versions stored away so I can drill 
down and find when exactly this problem occurs and report to the 
bugzilla (I can't see anything obvious there).

Let me know if we are on the same page.

Regards
