Description: LibreOffice displays the text but images are missing Steps to Reproduce: 1.open file (.rtf files dating back to 1989, 1991, 1992) i.e .rtf files coming from a 32bit software (WriteNow 4.0 Mac OS 9) 2. 3. Actual Results: LibreOffice 7.3.6.2 <-- version missing in the above menu The text is okay but all the images are missing as with the current Word 16 Also note that accentuated character are correctly shown but followed by an unwanted space character. OpenOffice has a similar problem (2 characters instead of one) but the 1st character is wrong. Please note that a similar problem was corrected in August 15, 2021 "[Bug 138218] Can't open .RTF files from an old Word" Expected Results: OpenOffice 4.1.10 correctly opens these files with both texts and illustrations. Accentuated characters are shown as a wrong character + a space but this can be easily corrected with search/replace. Thus I could export the .rtf to .doc and convert the latter to .docx with Word 16.

Created attachment 184371 [details] A .rtf file dating back to 1990 The .rtf file contains 11 pages with 34 images.
In 2021 I reported a bug with .rtf files which was corrected. "[Bug 138218] Can't open .RTF files from an old Word"
The images are not showed, but they are there. You can see that on the navigator. But also Word it's not able to show the images, it says that doesn't find appropriate filter to show them.
The images are in pct-Format, don't know whether Mac or Windows variant. Look for a OpenOffice.org 2.1 portable. That version has a filter for those images. Save the file to hmtl in OpenOffice.org 2.1 portable. That converts the images to .gif format. Open the html-file in a current LO and switch from Web to Normal View in menu View. Use File > Export... > Text Writer/Web (*.odt) Now you have a version which is editable in LibreOffice and shows all images. If you have more such files containing pct-images, you should save the OpenOffice.org 2.1 portable near to those files. There might exist an external filter, that converts the images in the rtf-file directly to an image format, that is still supported in modern applications. For me this is a "Wont fix", because other applications have removed the pct-Filter too. I think, that no one is going to implement such filter inside current LibreOffice.
