    should work in theory, using the same version of abiword for both will
    help alot.

    the simplest solution is probably to symlink the linux version to the
    windows Abiword.Profile.

    I expect the recent files listing will be badly broken and that there will
    be other inevitable problems but I have heard of people succesfully doing
    something simliar with Netscape.

    Please document what works (and what doesnt) and tell us how it goes.

    Sincerely
