Comment 22 for bug 211345

I have had the same problem. I had two .odt files which I saved as .rtf. I
could open one of the .rtf files successfully with OOo, the other would be blank
so I did some investigating of how they were different.

It seems to be something to do with the paragraph styles that OOo generates when
it saves as .rtf. I get a blank when I open the above attachment 57515 with OOo
so I opened it in a text editor. I deleted the unused styles (the document only
appears to use S1 so I deleted S2 - S12, lines 5 - 15 in the text editor) and lo
and behold I can open the file with OOo.
