Alastair That preview is identical to having Screen / Printer chosen, and then clicking on Preview.
You are looking at the RTF creation as a fixed item. It is entirely flexible AND DEPENDS on settings in whatever word processor you are using to open/view/edit it. The RTF is NOT missing the title page. The RTF IS missing the contents and index BECAUSE you use your word processor to automatically generate those after you have made all your edits and changes. (You can generate them as many times as you like during the editing process, but obviously do it also after all the edits so it accurately reflects the page numbers.) You should investigate how to generate these within your word processor's help files. If your photos are moving from their positions as shown in the Legacy generated PDF file, then it is because your word processor is moving them to its default positions. Look at the graphics default options in your word processor to correct this. Note that many word processors will not allow you to access such settings, and you will have to move every photo individually. Alternatively, start using a word processor that WILL allow you to change the settings. I have had no problems in using the RTF output to get whatever output I desire (except for having to overcome occasional really annoying bugs in the Legacy output). I hope you can too. If I haven't covered all your points, please advise...
