Abiword does open RTF. But it doesn't have table support yet. If I remember correctly, abiword and openoffice implements RTF differently. Abiword sticks strictly to the RTF specs, and openoffice tried to implement it the way M$ Word behaves (which is different from the specs). There is a bug report from abiword developers to openoffice developer somewhere in their site. I am not sure if this was the problem, but probably it's, depends on how latex2rtf implement the converter. RDB > > nirmal
