Suppose I email whoever's doing the investigation the actual copyrighted OOo
file to do an RTF export
from?
There's a strong possibility that this corruption occurred way back while
updating a OOo screenplay file
with a newer RTF version from Mariner Write via OOo's COMPARE documents
feature. Maybe some
formating codes got scrambled in the merge and got passed on from there. The
devious thing about it
is this corruption doesn't render on the OOo screen (like OOo's blind to it),
only the RTF export, which
is shot through with missing or truncated words or characters. Yet even a
layman like me can see the
actual corruption in the "LACED" case:
All appears normal on this cut and paste of OOo editing screen of the corrupted
file:
EXT. EAST TEXAS BAYOU – DAY – SEPTEMBER 1849
HOUNDS BARK in the distance of a cypress swamp while two ragged black slaves
splash and dash from
BOUNTY HUNTERS. His bare back LACED with scars, ex-Mexican War Calvary scout
and Bostonian
mechanic LAZAR HAMMERMAN, 34, tows field slave DULCY, 31, through muck and
roots. He ducks
behind a tree and slips underwater and behind a lone hunter to pop up and apply
a NECK-POPPING
half-Nelson on him. Approaching hounds HOWL.

And if you RTF export it...

And as the corrupted RTF appears in TextEdit:

Check this out: <text:span text:style-name="T4">LACED with scar</text:span>s,
Now this shouldn't be, right?
Again, this corruption doesn't rear its head in OOo -- only in the RTF export!
So far this I've just traced this to one incident with the current docs I'm
working with. Don't have much
time to do a full fledged multi-document investigation yet.
