That is not the problem, rtf saved by Word could be opened by Wordpad
normally. Similar problem is with *.bmp and other "non OLE" formats.
Using OleContainer.SaveAsDocument('xy.bmp') makes the resulted bmp
file unreadable in non OLE application (for example IrfanView cries
about wrong file header).

I know that this is not IBO isssue, I have tried here if anybody has
some hint.
Thanks in advance
