Frame 8 bug: Importing RTF "misplaces" footnotes and index tags

[Alan Litchfield]

So Tina,

To get this right. You have opened the rtf file in a text editor,  
found the relevant footnote in the text and seen that it is  
positioned correctly. But when it is imported into FM8 it is moved to  
a more or less random location to within 5 places of the original  
location?

If that is the case, this is a pretty serious problem. Much of the  
work I do involves importing rtf files, mainly from Word.
