Reply To: Can't figure out WHY I can't place RTF file–I do see Overset, but can't find problem!

David's suggestion is very good, but what we often encounter in rtf-files (and others) is that the footnotes are, before formatting, longer than the text on one page. The solution is setting the doc footnote options to “allow split footnotes”.

If layout is of no impotance, save the rtf as a txt-file and import that one.

Another trick, make a parastyle as basic as possible, import the rtf-file, select all and apply the “basic style”.
