AbiWord seems fine with vanilla text. Opening a formatted MS Word document (even just headers with page numbers), however, results in a nightmare when the same document is reopened in MS Word.

Hi, I wanted to apply a default format saving options to portable abiwords. I have been informed to use the following trick:
//
You can go edit your
AbiWord.Profile file and add the
following line to the _custom_ scheme

DefaultSaveFormat=".rtf"

where .rtf is the
common extension of the format you want.
//

I did, but every time I lauch portable abiwords, the abiword.profile file seem to be restored ? May you help me getting this tweak to work ? I suggest to include the info in the next readme if it possible. Indeed, many people would like to set the default save format.

I just want to say how pleased I am with PortableAbiWord. It runs great off my computer and my USB drive. I recently added alot of the optional plugins from the website (mostly for the OpenDocument plugin), and they work seamlessly as well. Thanks alot!

Hi,

Just downloaded and copied portable abiword on to my thumb drive.

Unfortunatly the computer I'm using is Chinese and I don't speak Chinese at all. I've managed to change the interface language to Englsih. I've also download the british dictionary and put that in the correct place so that I can run the UK spell checker but when ever I load up abiword I have to change the spell check language to EN-GB from zh-CN and even then it keeps reverting to zh-CN. Any idea how I can change this permantly ?

Otherwise portable abiword is great. Thanks a lot

Any idea on how to get it on the U3 Launchpad of this device? I followed the instructions and it works fine by navigating to the directory and running the app but doesn't appear on the Launchpad. The 'Add Programs' of the launchpad wants a *.up3 file to install it.

Whenever I start up Portable AbiWord, it creates an empty AbiSuite folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner. It's a minor detail that doesn't really affect anything, but I figured I should note it, this being a portable version of a program that shouldn't leave any files lying around on a hard drive after use.

In ver. 0.3 Alpha 1, I get the following error when importing a CSV calendar file that I exported from Outlook.

Unable to read from file:(path and filename)
[Exception... "Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative" nsresult: "0x80570034 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN)" location: "JS frame :: file:J:/Portable/sunbird/components/calOutlookCSVImportExport.js :: csv_importFromStream :: line 269" data: no

Hello

Abiword is an excellent software, but under WIN 98 SE it is impossible to make a print out !
I test it on several computers with Win 98 SE.
On Windows XP it is working well !
I have the newest version of Abiword portable.
What's matter ? What can I do ?

With best regards

Hi John,

Sorry to trouble you, but, can you specify EXACTLY which files to copy from Portable AbiWord 2.4.1 (the last version) to the newest one (2.4.2).Is it just the user profile file?

I also have copied the abiword plugins tool, is this correct?

Does anything else need moving to keep my stuff?

Thanks,

Roger

Multiple documents open in multiple windows in AbiWord. Is there a way to change this? I greatly dislike this unusual behavior.
