Office Apps Support

Has anyone noticed that in the Sumatra PDF help.html, it says "Sumtra PDF" quite often? Just saying. Maybe someone (like John) could fix that.

You know I really like the idea of Sunbird and its ability to remind me of upcoming tasks... Only thing is, I wish it would remind me to launch it every time I start up Portable Apps! Is there any way to have it automatically launch itself when I plug in my USB stick with the Portable Apps suite? That way I could rely on it to remind me of all the other important events I need to be reminded of...

The way adding plugins (and dictionaries ??) to Abiword 2.6.4

# Close AbiWord Portable
# Download a standard plugin installer from the AbiWord website
# Follow the prompts as normal. Uncheck the option to create an uninstaller when it comes up (otherwise an entry will be made in Add/Remove Programs on the local PC.....

does not work.

Because there is no option to create an uninstaller, which I can 'uncheck' ...... ?!?

This is just a portability note for those interested in using the collaboration plug-in with AbiWord Portable. As of 2.6.4, the tools installer (exe) will add a .abicollab file extension to the registry if you choose to install AbiCollab. If you don't use the feature or don't mind the registry entries, you can ignore this :).

Where I can find an Abiword Simplified Chinese dictionary.

Sheesh, I've tried everything. I want to change the default font to Arial, rather than Times Roman.

I open the normal template, I select the style and modify it. I save my changes to the template. I close abiword, restart it, and no arial.

Instead, I reopened the normal template document, set the font via the drop-down menu, saved the template. I close abiword, reopen it and it's still Times Roman.

Why the heck should this be so difficult? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I see this site claims "By default, AbiWord Portable is set to English (US)." - but isn't what I see - I just downloaded it for the first time (from here) and started it and the language is not English (its the machine default)

Then the text goes on:
"To change to another langauge, start AbiWord Portable as normal. From the main menu, select Tools and then Preferences."

Ok... but then

"Then click the Language tab."

Except there is NO Language tab....

Any suggestions on how to get it to start and stay English?

Many have noticed the new update checker in the latest Sumatra version.
Patrick provided a link where the author says that he will try to make it disable-able in a future version.

He also says that it only checks for updates every 24 hours so maybe the launcher could update the preferences file till he includes it himself...

I chose Chinese(PRC)in the option of set language but i still can't type simplified Chinese in AbiWord.
Anyone who can give some help?
Many thanks!

Do the addons work like "normal" for portable. I'm trying to add the providers addon for syncing google calander. but it doesn't just go into the sunbird addon download menu it asks me the normal download options with a file. and i don't know what to do with the file next.
How do i get this addon on.
