If you open a .RTF file, then "Save" it, it will be saved under the same .RTF name but in .ABW format. When you open it again, either in Abiword or in another word processor, you get garbage. If you rename the file as .ABW, the document is displayed correctly. Using "Save As" gets you the correct result.
