I can certainly try that but want to know that the 3.0rc will be usable since I do need it for work.
I will report tomorrow if a .doc saved by OO preserves the incorrect import. OT: Note on another bug I had reported on all 2.* versions crashing on certain RTF imports. IBM's Lotus version imported those files without a problem (except that they do not have bidirectional text support). They might be using sources from version 1.* which did work OK. I no longer have lotus version around to test with the current bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
