rtf-ctrl has been Revised
When Word 6.0 was released, it introduced some new control words which
rtftohtml 2.7.5 was not aware of. These caused messages to appear like:
ReadStyleSheet: unknown token "\widctlpar"
Unknown symbol "\sprstsm" near line 9, position 66.
Unknown symbol "\truncex" near line 9, position 74.
Unknown symbol "\nolead" near line 9, position 81.
Unknown symbol "\msmcap" near line 9, position 88.
Unknown symbol "\widctlpar" near line 12, position 17.
In addition, Word 6.0 uses \super for footnotes instead of \up, which
confuses the filter.
To correct these problems, get the new version of rtf-ctrl and copy it into
your folder or directory containing the filter.

Known Bugs
Please send bug reports to cjh@cray.com
- The error message for Invalid Character Code should tell the user which
translation files need to be updated.
Feature Requests
- index entries should generate a hypertext index.
- Copy/Paste-link in MSWord for Mac creates a 'live' link. Within a
document, this generates a hyptetext link. This should also be allowed across
documents.
- Footnotes would be a great way to edit and view hypertext links. This was
a feature in the earliest versions of rtftohtml - but was dropped. It should be
put back.
- How about html->rtf??
- Allow TITLE's to be taken from the text of the document (instead of just
the info-block)
- Make rtftohtml available under DOS and Windows
- Don't print line numbers and column positions for error messages. Print a
context string.
- Allow spaces to separate bullets from text within lists.
