As a correction to my previous post:

I noticed after my post to you that the Wordpad RTF file does not
include the footnotes and bibliography database!

So, I then used AbiWord (2.4.4.) and it brought up the file fine
(including all accents, footnotes etc). Then in AbiWord I saved it as a
MS Word file and RTF file and opened both in OOo 2.0.4 (linux).
Footnotes etc all are ok now. The only problem that I found with this
method is that the footnote anchor, footnote, pagenumber, font styles
etc are a bit large and the anchors weren't superscripted. But that was
corrected by modifying the styles & page numbering once it was back into
OOo.

I did not have the odd font problem that you had with AbiWord;
smartquotes were fine, accents were fine.

Glad you managed to recover the document successfully.
