The RTF problem is very simple. The ODT file (for simple stories) has some header stuff, a centered title and byline, and then the rest is ordinary text, double spaced with paragraph indents. When I do a SaveAs RTF, the header stuff and the first paragraph of the text are OK, the rest of the text goes to the default setting of single spaced and no indents. I can fix it up easily and when I do it stays fixed.
But... if I do a much longer file with chapter breaks, various page styles, and such, it messes up much worse, and even if I fix it it won't stay fixed - save/close/open loses the fixes and it goes back to messed up. I'll try attaching a short ODT file to this, if that doesn't work I can send one offline. Unfortunately I don't have any of the longer files that I can reasonably afford to have floating around the net (I'm trying to SELL these things and have to be very careful about things like prior publication).

I think they can not co-exist, plus why have both, best to go with one or the other. It is also true that as of 11.04 OpenOffice will be removed from Ubuntu but most likely do to the fact that there should only be one, and currently LibraOffice has more shipped fixes/improvements.GNu Joe Joseph Apuzzo Vimercate ItalyOn Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 3:40 PM, ew <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:Did Ubuntu remove OpenOffice.org? I did not find any information to support this, so my guess is no. Or is it possible OO.org can't coexist with LibreOffice? History: My Ubuntu 10.04 install had not been updated in weeks! I wanted to try LibreOffice so I just added the ppa but did not install (wanted to install after I had an up to date system). I had been lazy in creating a backup, hence the lack of updates. I finally created the backup, then ran update. I was surprised to see OpenOffice on the remove list because I did not install LibreOffice yet. I am surprised that just the fact the ppa was on my sources.list made the update manager remove OpenOffice. Thank You Sean for listing the install instructions!
