A program I use frequently generates RTF files which contains index tags. I normally use OpenOffice to create an Alphabetical index. I downloaded LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 (after uninstalling OO) but when I tried creating an index all I got were the words "Alphabetical Index" instead of the index itself. Regressed to 4.2.6.3 to see if the bug was new but I got the same result. Have had to move back to OpenOffice 4.1.1 I can supply the RTF file and the output from OpenOffice if required but the files do contain sensitive information and I can't post them on an open forum.
Please supply the file. You can strip out sensitive info with this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Attachments#Confidential_Attachments Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have attached the file.
Created attachment 109497 [details] Original RTF file generated by PAF This is the original file generated by PAF. It contains tag data that can be used to generate an alphabetical index.
Created attachment 109498 [details] File with index created by OpenOffice V4.1.1 This is the file generated by OpenOffice. I loaded the RTF file, then selected Insert>Indexes and Tables>Alphabetical Index When I try this with LibreOffice all I get generated is the text string "Alphabetical Index"
BTW - these files are non-confidential. They contain falsified information.
