The RTF export incorrectly prefixes the \cs control word with the \* control 
symbol in body text. This can make RTF files exported from OpenOffice 
unreadable for older RTF reading software.

The RTF specification version 1.9.1 states: "inside the style sheet [...] \csN 
must be prefixed with \* and must appear as the first item inside a group. 
Doing so ensures that readers that do not understand character styles will skip 
the character style information correctly. When used in body text to indicate 
that a character style was applied, do not include the \* prefix."

OpenOffice always includes the \* prefix, even in body text. This can cause 
older RTF software to ignore such text that was prefixed with \*\cs. (This is 
not a bug in those readers. According to the RTF specification \* "identifies 
destinations whose related text should be ignored if the RTF reader does not 
recognize the destination control word.")
