If it is a font issue, you can download the Microsoft Core Web Fonts for
free and add them to your system. Then change the font to standard
Microsoft Times New Roman or Arial or whatever. That should take care of it.

Better yet, just use your distro's utility for installing them. The OP
one said SuSE, so:

Hi :)
Sometimes you have to scroll backward up the list above the starting point of
the drop-down.
However, it is very unusual to hear of (or see) a .Doc getting malformed!
.DocXs go weird sometimes because each version of MSO does it slightly differently.
But even those shouldn't be showing any strange characters.
Could it be a fonts issue? SuSE and other GnuLinuxes often have a wide range
of slightly unusual fonts to avoid proprietary ones such as Arial, Times New Roman
(and so on) that might have copyright issues.
Might it be easier to send him/her the .Odt and a link to the LibreOffice
downloads page?

Hi Helen,
what version of LO are you using?
When I do as a save as in LO4.0.4.2 I can see .rtf 4th from bottom of
the list of formats.
Cheers

I agreed to edit (one time only) a local literary magazine coming out
soon.
I have saved each of the documents (plays, poetry, etc.) and edited in
LibreOffice.
Before sending the files to the publisher, I've been saving them to .doc.
The publisher emails to say that all the documents have weird formatting and
strange characters. He wants to know if I can send the files to him in
.rft (rich text) format. I don't see that as an option in the save as
menu.
Is there a way I can do this -- convert the .odt files to .rtf? Using
LibreOffice
on Suse Linux.
Thanks all,
