    If I save a file as MS Word or RTF, then try to read it with something
    like OpenWriter, OpenWriter crashes immediately.

    Looking at the .doc, it shows that it's just RTF, at least it appears so
    to me.

    I'm curious what's going on here. This also goes the same for saving
    files as .DOC in OpenWriter then re-saving them in abiword.

    However, documents sent to me by other people using word97, or 2000 open
    just fine in OpenWriter, whereas formatting is usually messed up in
    Abiword. This goes for RTFs too.

    What's the deal?
