Office Apps Support

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.

I have installed PortableApps suite light. During installation Norton Internet Security detected and removed pluginlatex.dll file from plugin folder in AbiWord. It has classified it as Suspicious.Cloud Heurestic Virus.

I have run this file through Virus Total - no other virus engine detects it except TrendMicro which calls it positive PAK_Generic.001

I assumed it is false positive and have written email to Symantec about it.
