You are correct as to what the problem is ... I must had somehow renamed an .rtf
document as a .doc. If I do a save as XP .doc document it works correctly. So no
need to fix this! BUT under windows an extension does indicate what application
the document is 'assigned' to and windows applications work on that premise ...
the rtf masquerading as a doc document might be something that could be detected
by OO Writer. So under windows when you are trying to save to a .doc document
and it isn't a .doc format [and probably all the other mixes as well] then
perhaps a warning dialogue should pop up.
I don't think rtf documents support TOCs ... but I'm not sure.
You know that if you do a right click on the desktop and create a 'New Writer
Document' ... that creates a file with an .odt extension. But in the windows
world unfortunately everyone seems to want to create an MSWORD .doc document for
compatibility of others who ARE using MSWORD ... that is what I do ... so it is
probably a common thing ... perhaps almost 100% of OO users would simply change
the .odt extension to .doc ... very innocently ... and get into trouble. So some
kind of warning on save would be a nice thing as an enhancement.
So for the time being I'll set the issue's resolution to INVALID as I assume
that RTF files don't support this functionality. I have no idea how this became
an RTF file! Perhaps on a save once where I accidently spun the mouse wheel when
the 'Save as type' control was selected.
Thanks for looking into this issue for me. I think OpenOffice is so wonderful
... I use it all the time both on windows and Linux ... and I'll easily spend
the time to reduce a problem I'm having to the minimal set so that the
developers can locate a bug. Thanks for looking into this for me! It turned out
to be an interesting bug and a more interesting resolution!
