Nisis Pro inserted page breaks: are they kosher?

[jtranter]

There seems to be a problem with Nisus page breaks.

I use a Macbook Air 2009
Running Mac OS X v.10.6.3 Snow Leopard
with all recommended updates at 2010-05-16

In Nisus Pro v1.4.1
Create and save as RTF a file with page breaks, using
Menu>Insert>Page Break

In NeoOffice v3.1.1. Patch 0
open the RTF file: all the page breaks have disappeared.
In NeoOffice, insert all the page breaks again, using
Menu>Insert>Manual Break... >Page Break
Save as RTF.

Open this file in Nisus: the page breaks are all there.
In Nisus, save this file as RTF.

NeoOffice: open this RTF file and all the page breaks have disappeared.

Is Nisus Right? Is NeoOffice right? They can’t both be right, surely.

Mea culpa. Using Mac OS X 10.6.3:

Further to my unfair RTF save and open test, here are the results of creating a file in Nisus Pro, creating three page breaks, saving in RTF, and:

opening as RTF and saving again as RTF in:

Text Edit and in
Mellel and in
Nisus:

open the files again in all three word processors and ...

All the page breaks show properly in all three word processors.

So it is NeoOffice that loses the page breaks:

not Nisus,
not Text Edit, and
not Mellel.

Time to talk to the folks at NeoOffice.
