RTX Troubleshooting


Issues Opening RTX Files

LibreOffice is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open RTX Files" when trying to open your RTX. Usually, this is because you do not have LibreOffice for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your RTX with LibreOffice, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens RTX files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of LibreOffice is Installed

It is possible that your version of LibreOffice isn't able to open your Rich Text Document file due to incompatibility. Download the latest LibreOffice version from the The Document Foundation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Rich Text Document file was created by a different (newer) version of LibreOffice than what's installed.
