It fails to convert the attached rtf file with the message

bernd@aladdin:~/Download> rtf2latex2e -b 60_100_en_rtf
Processing 60_100_en_rtf.rtf
ReadColorTbl: malformed entry
Last token read was "\cbackgroundone" near line 474, position 16.

    It seems that MS added new elements to the rtf syntax. rtf2latex2e does not know about those new tags and fails.
    I opened the rtf file in Windows WordPad and saved from there as rtf. WordPad uses a smaller subset of rtf tags and the rtf file saved from WordPad is successfully converted by rtf2latex2e. The resulting tex file is attached.
