Don't think that RTF is the > most used format these day's (but of course depending on system; user case > etc). So rather hard to define what's important or not. Especially with a > suite with quite some functionality There is very obviously no hard and fast rule to classify "bug(s) like these", but what confidence does it instil in people if even a single one A4-sized document that only uses the most basic of RTF features cannot be rendered correctly in Writer. Hell, if it uses a font that's not on the system, why not open a pop-up that asks the user which font to substitute. I still use the Word XP freebie that came with my old AD 2003 PC, and I've set it up to show me a pop-up whenever I open something non-.DOC. How hard would it be to add a similar feature to Writer, when opening a non-.ODT format file, with a warning that it may not render correctly, just as there is one when saving in non-.ODT formats?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
