Problems with OO's RTF import of text boxes is a known bug:
see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95665
This is part of a general problem with OOo's import of RTF drawing
objects, and not restricted to Hebrew.

I use `catdoc' which works quiet good (for both *doc and *rtf).
`catdoc' is available as a package for Centos and Debian.
Thanks for the tip, but I can't get any sensible output. I ran:
catdoc -a -d8859-8 invoice150711.rtf | fribidi --charset ISO8859-8
--width=80 --rtl
and I get 188 empty lines. :-(
After Micha sent me his RTF file, I found out that it contain
"text boxes", not plain text.
Using open office does not help, It shows empty (almost) page.
Filter your RTF with the sed command bellow, it will drop the boxes.
Than run catdoc as above or use open office (I used `ooviewdoc') both
will show you the data (ooviewdoc saves more of the original layout).
BTW. When viewed with M$word, the filtered file show empty boxes.
Ehud.
