I tried sending for some help with abiword and never got a reply. do not waste your time. I love Abiword over openoffice and I have been using it the last month or so but i have found that I delete a word I lose many words and lines too. they eventually randomly appear and I have had this happen that I just removed it yesterday and am now using OO word saved in RTF format. I am disappointed in Abiword.
You are not the only one that has issues with it.
I put it on my daughter's old Mac but I have not used it enough to see this glitch.
probably a linux/Abi problem...Too bad. I like it... I am not using it any longer and will refuse to waste my time with a glitchy App.
sorry - i have no answers; but I am empathic to your scenario.

depending on what you want to do with abiword/OO have a look at Lyx.
Lyx is based off LaTex and gets rid of all the formatting problems found in the others. Lyx can also handle large documents, like a thesis, without crashing every 2 minuets.
well just my ramblings anyway.

Now where was i going? Oh yes, crazy!
Boo... yeah but Lyx is hard to export to a common format like .rtf/.doc
At least that's what I got from my short time trying the app. I didn't completely read the manual though since all I was interested in was to write a story in it without caring for formatting.
If things have changed or I was misinformed by my own lack of research, please enlighten.
Thanks for giving the heads up about Abi Word. I had installed it over OO without testing it yet.

Re: abiword strange behaviour solved
Thanks. Going to go back to AbiWord again and uninstall OpenOffice.
