Created attachment 61662 [details] Lorem Ipsum RTF with 'new page' not working The attached file shows a really short and quickly created latex file, converted with Latex2RTF ( http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/ ). Latex2RTF inserts the 'new page' command somehow differently and this is not recognized by LO/AOO(?)/Wordpad(!) Wordpad opens this rtf file in a similar way like LO (at least it looks/is displayed similar), but open this file with the 'Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 (11.8238.8341) SP3' (likely that the actual MSO will display the file identical) the new page command is correctly recognized. Page 2 and 3 (or better saying the headline "2 test2" and the following text) should be on a new page.
Oh and the page number in the footer (as reported in an other bug) is also not shown...
Just tested: not supporting: *Textedit (Mac OS X 10.7) *Libreoffice 3.5.3.2 (Mac and win 7) *Wordpad (Win 7 and Win XP) *Apache OpenOffice 3.4 supporting: *MSO 2007 *Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 (11.8238.8341) SP3 Wasn't easy to test since some applications simply remove lines of the code they don't understand. Opening the rft file with a simple text editor, it seems that '\column' is the relevant command which isn't understood by defacto most applications.
On pc Debian x86-64, with master updated today, I reproduce the problem. (no new page for 2 test 2). No specific messages in console.
Maybe just an interesting note: Although IBM Lotus Symphony has some RTF improvements which will be merged into AOO ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Contribution#rtf ) - it also doesn't recognize that kind of new page command. (just tested in an Win XP VM)
getting into the sourcecode of Latex2RTF and my test file, I recognized, that the the command is not called \page (which is understood as I recognized it with a modified test file), but sadly of \column see http://latex2rtf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/latex2rtf/branches/vendor/commands.c?revision=1195&view=markup#l87 and the real code at http://latex2rtf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/latex2rtf/branches/vendor/funct2.c?revision=1195&view=markup#l483
Assign this to me, will have a look in a bit.
