I get ballots from an ISO technical committee in RTF format. If I

document. Is this a known problem?
I have posted the RTF file at
http://www.optstd.org/sc5N439webballot.rtf. I have also posted a PDF
file printed from MS Word 2000 showing what the document should look
like, http://www.optstd.org/sc5N439webballot.pdf. I then posted a
PDF file displaying what OpenOffice Writer shows when it opens the
file, http://www.optstd.org/sc5N439webballotOpenOffice.pdf.
I am using version 2.3.1 on an XP Media Center Edition with Service
Pack 2.
What's this? ISO doesn't use ISO standard file formats???
James:
That is correct. In fact the templates that ISO developed for
drafting its international standards are Word documents. I guess that
the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing.
I manage the US optical standards under the OP committee. They are
being developed using OpenOffice.org.

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to ask them why they're not ISO
compliant.
