Office Apps Support

someone is going to update it??

Hi, I was wondering why the AbiWordPortable release 2.6.2 for an English only install has template files (AWT) that are in other languages?

I'm not a very big AbiWord user so I don't know if it's safe to remove those or should they be included, but there's a bunch of template files in

\PortableApps\AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\templates

Long time reader, first time post. With that in mind, I'm not sure if this is a support question, bug (tho I'm pretty sure it's not) or a feature request. Either way I think it should go here.

I cannot select text from a PDF for a cut or copy and paste operation. This occurs in PDF's that I have made, and others from web. If this is normal, then this is a feature request. If this is not, then what is going on here? This would be a tremendous feature, for at least me.

Thanks to all the forum for helpful, informative, and sometimes entertaining reading.

Note: This is only a problem if you add the new collaboration plug-in to AbiWord Portable.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install the collaboration plug-in (AbiCollab.dll) from the tools package available at http://www.abisource.com/download/
- Run AbiWordPortable.exe
- File > Quit
- Notice the %HOMEPATH%\AbiSuite\AbiCollab.Profile file left behind

Something like like that is the message I receive when I click on the second item of the tools menu (in Spanish: Establecer Idioma, I don't know in the English one). I don't know if this is a bug of the app itself or a portable issue only. It happens both on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4. Or maybe my download was corrupted?.
Otherwise the app works fine. Thanks you very much for your work in Portable Apps.

Hi, I am attending community college and sometime I use the Microsoft Office to check out my grammar. I was hoping AbiWord comes with grammar checking when I would use it anywhere. Any idea how I have it in AbiWord or how soon anyone can make it happen? Thank you.

I installed a fresh copy of AbiWord 2.6 (english only version) onto my desktop. I opened it and the menu is english cause thats the only language it has. But if I write something, as soon as I hit "Enter", a window pops up and says: "Could nor load the dictionary for the German (Switzerland) [de-CH] language." I use Win XP in german (Switzerland).

The same happens if I install the full version. Then the menu is in german but the popup appears anyhow.

I don't know if thats a bug in AbiWord itself but I guess its something with the way the Portable version handles the language.

EDIT

When typing a text - or even when copying and pasting a text from another application - the signs are transformed into other signs (from a different language?) - making the text unreadable. How can I get rid of this problem?

edit: This problem seems to be linked to the "Times New Roman"- and "Arial"-font. However, the font works flawlessly with Microsoft Word. Any advice?

I run Sunbird from a dedicated data partition and run several XP's from the same HD using bootitng partition and boot manager.

Suddenly Sunbird couldn't remember the hour being set in a new appointment and would always change it to 11:00.

I found that this only happened from one of the XP's.

I narrowed it down to this:

It happens if the Windows Clock's "Automatically Adjust Clock for Daylight Savings" check box is unchecked!

Hard to believe. At least checking it again fixed the problem.

How do I make AbiWord Portable use Firefox Portable or
OperaTor Portable instead of system default browser?
(eg. to check for updates, etc..)

Thanks
