To simulate: 1. New a blank document using Word 97 2. Do a print screen dump, press Ctrl-V to insert the screen dump in the word document 3. Save as RTF format 4. Open the file using OO643C. The bitmap image is lost.

RTF files generated by Word 2000 does not cause this problem

Word 97 stored the picture as a drawing object. OO Writer does not support the import of MS Drawing Objects from RTF documents (and it is not planned to do in the future). For import of drawing objects from MS Word, the MS Word filter was developed for OO.
Closed, because it is a missing feature, which will not be implemented due to high costs and much too low impact. Powerpoint, Word and Excel are the most important filters in OO.
