------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 22 11:05:57 +0000 2007 ------- Currently, OOo Writer opens text files (e.g. *.txt, *.srt) in html format instead of plain text format, if the text body contains tag-like text such as <i>, </i> etc. For example, a plain text file containing the following 5 lines will open in Notepad or Microsoft Word as such: 1<i>abc</i> 2 3<i>def</i> 4 5<i>ghi</i> But OOo Writer will open the same text file in html format instead, and display the text body differently: 1abc 2 3def 4 5ghi -> with letters in italics; -> not as 5 lines but 1 line; -> <i> and </i> not treated as plain text, but as html tags. Actually, OOo Writer hangs or lags when large .srt files having these <i>, </i> tags are opened. I have to use Notepad to open them, do a Ctrl-A then copy-paste all the text into OOo Writer (to do spellchecks & editing).
