Yes it happens with other users too. Those documents were create by Microsoft word 2000 and Microsoft Wordpad. After i realised that problem is caused by actually created two different RTF test files. One with word and other with wordpad. So the problem seems to be related to rtf documents originally created by the micrsoft word 2000 and wordpad.
