A filter inside OOo? Yes. Or are you talking about external processing? And what does mean "remove all formatting"? Should text inside headers/footers and text frames be removed also as they don't belong to the regular text of the document? > The related problem: A customer sends the following message: "I would . . > . like to report, as a potential problem, that RTF and Word documents > exported from OpenOffice cannot be read by Editor.

Perhaps you could examine such documents and find out what you Editor doesn't like in them?
