Office Apps Support

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drive.And there is no option in the installer to install PDF support.Also the plugin install tutorial here seems to be outdated,or lacking some steps

https://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.

I am trying to get my calendar to print on 11x17 paper. It will print on the paper, but it does not use the entire sheet to do so.

If I print it out in portrait mode, it only uses the upper part of the sheet. It is about the size that a 8.5x11 sheet would look if it were in landscape mode.

If I print in landscape mode, it will fill the page from left to right, but there is still about 4 inches of empty space on the bottom.

How can I get the calendar to fill out the page to all margins, or can I?

I have an event that runs on multiple days in a week and for astetic reasons, I would like it to be listes first each day so it is like a banner along the week. This is not currently happening. It looks as if the events are being listed in alphabetical order each day. I have tried to "Drag and Drop" the event in the position I want it for a day, but it will not move. Is there a way to do this?

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

On my XP PRO SP3 I cannot open latest release (Abiword Portable 2.8.6) and I get these event errors:

Error ID 34
source: SideBySide
Description: [something about identity found in manifest...]

Error ID 58
source: SideBySide
Description: "syntax error in file manifest file or criteria "D:\work\zip\AbiWord Portable286\App\AbiWord\bin\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST"; line 11"

Error ID 59
source: SideBySide
Description: "...Generate Activation Context failed..."

Note than dlls in bin folders seem conformed to manifest
msvcm90.dll - 9.0.30729.1
msvcp90.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.

Hello All,
I've been using Portable Apps for a long time however this is the first post I am making on these forums.

I need an Portable iTunes Alternative program that will work with both mp3s and mp4s. ITunes has updated and deleted all of my information six times already. I lose everything! The music stays in the program but I lose all of my podcasts and all of the videos I have listed as TV shows and any music videos I have are moved to the Movies folder and the track, episode, and title data I spend time filling out disappears.
