Subject: Re: Save as "text file" as a default

There is a solution
(thanks dom for clarifying)
you need to edit your Abiword.Profile
in unix that is in ~/.Abisuite/Abiword.Profile
in windows it is in C:\windows\Profiles\Application
Data\Abisuite\Abiword.Profile
(or something very close to that, i dont have windows in front of me right
at this minute)
the Abiword.Profile may contain several different profiles
you must make absolutely sure that you change
scheme name _custom_
if it does not work then thats probably what has gone wrong.
you need to add the line
DefaultSaveFormat=".txt"
I hope that answers your question.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
