AbiWord Portable

How do I create a "Book" ? Page numbers and all. I read it can be done using OOos "writer".

Hi

i don't know if i post this message at the right place, if not i'm sorry

I made a dictionary installer for Abiword portable but i don't know if there would be any interest here and where i could or should post it.

It's based on a standard plugin installer and it installs all the available dictionary's to the dictionary folder in de app folder.

As far as i know this is legal (correct me if i'm wrong)

The link you are accessing has been blocked by the [Company] Web Filter because it contains spyware. The name of the spyware is: Spyware.Exploit.Misc.MWBR

Any thoughts?

ABIWORD has removed the individual plugin installers,and the windows installer only installs to the local drive.And there is no option in the installer to install PDF support.Also the plugin install tutorial here seems to be outdated,or lacking some steps

http://portableapps.com/support/abiword_portable#plugins

can anyone help me?

The splash window for Abiword appears, but once it goes away the application immediately terminates. Abiword never starts.

I do use OpenOffice, but I have been finding it to be a bit sluggish, slow at starting up, and the fact that while I am working on a document it seems to randomly freeze for a minutes.

This is the reason I am trying to get Abiword to work, to see if it is any better/faster.

The PortableApps Suite is installed on the root of a flash thumb drive.

MojoPac is not installed, and has never been installed.

What are the files located @ E:\PortableApps\AbiWordPortable\App\AbiWord\strings ?

are these Interface languages ?

if so, I only need the English one and save 8MB.

any Ideas ?

Got tired of the open office suite...Loads way too slow and I only really needed a word processor, and I don't think that can be separated from the suite. So I turned to Abiword, very basic..however I've tried to get the spell check to work with no results. Any ideas out there?...Thanks Pappajohn

Note than dlls in bin folders seem conformed to manifest
msvcm90.dll - 9.0.30729.1

Installed 2.8.6 but can not find a way to enable Latex based Equation Editor, any inputs?

I changed the language settings in the AbiWord 2.6 installed on D partition. After that the menu in Abi disappeared, and then I could not (and still cannot) launch it at all. I cannot also launch Abi from the memory stick with a separate Portable Platform installation. Reboot does not help. This tells me that the problem is with some settings on the laptop that Abi changed/corrupted - the memory stick with Abi works fine on a different computer. I thought that portable appl.
