Loading RTF with Aspose.Words Error

Hi,
I’m trying to open a RTF (see attached) file with Aspose.Words 4.2.3.0 but I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type ‘Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException’ occurred in aspose.words.dll
Additional information: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.
The file can be opened with Microsoft Word, I tried with the latest release of Aspose.Words but the error persists.
Here is the code:

Try
Dim license As Aspose.Words.License = New Aspose.Words.License
license.SetLicense("Aspose.Words.lic")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Dim doc As Aspose.Words.Document
doc = New Aspose.Words.Document("c:\2007TA1765.rtf")
'or
'doc = New Aspose.Words.Document("c:\2007TA1765.rtf", Aspose.Words.LoadFormat.Rtf, "")

Can You please help me.
Claudio

Hi
Thank you for your reporting this to us. I managed to reproduce the problem. I created an issue #4095 in our defects database and we will investigate whether and when it can be fixed. Please expect a reply before the next hotfix (within 2-3 weeks).

This RTF is invalid (RTF is nested inside RTF). If you can fix this in the document it will be a workaround that will allow you to proceed.
Since MS Word reads this RTF ok, I’ve made Aspose.Words to read it okay too. Will be available in the next release.
