Righto!
So probably MakeRTF (Yes I do have it) is making a mess, in that the page
number is being put at the top, not at the bottom where it should be.

But, while the RTF loaded into OvPro is a mess.

The same file loaded into Imp Publisher loads correctly (Aside from the
displaced page number).

So it seems there's something about the RTF output that the Transloader
doesn't like, but publisher doesn't notice.

What it could be, I have no idea.
Pasted below the contents of the short test doc, if you save out the bits
between the ***** and filetype it RTF, see what happens.
