Description steve_atkins 2014-10-05 10:01:07 UTC
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.

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.

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"
Comment 4 steve_atkins 2014-11-14 23:08:02 UTC
BTW - these files are non-confidential.  They contain falsified information.

Reproduced on Linux and Windows, adding bibisectRequest.

Win 7 64-bit Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+

Was not able to test with 4.4 on Ubuntu because the darned thing kept crashing with this output when I entered the indexes and tables dialog:
