------- Additional comments from elm...@openoffice.org Wed Apr 29 15:10:31 +0000 2009 ------- 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.") --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
