Chick, I have heard of that problem with WORD before. With OOo the correct new page numbers are printed. I suspect the prob;lem is that there is no fixed standard for RTF, so one day it might be OOo which has bad indexing ofor the Legacy output!
I am afraid that there is no way it can be brought back into Legacy.
