This may or may not have been corrected as I'm not tracking the Issuezilla at OpenOffice.org. I recommend a compromise. Wine should first look for an installation of OpenOffice.org, either Linux or Windows. If this is not found, then it should use Wordpad. Lacking this, and I don't know why Wordpad would not be present, then the user is told that there is no program available to work with RTF files. What do you think about this as a solution to the problem? James McKenzie
