Is there any progress on this bug ?
Comment 8 Debajyoti Bera 2006-07-28 04:07:27 UTC 
With my limited understanding of office terms like "header", "footer", "textbox", I created rtf files with these features and tested against those files. They were all getting indexed. It looks like these features might have been added in CVS over time. Closing as fixed. If something is indeed broken, please reopen and _IMPORTANT_ attach an RTF file causing the problem.
