Thanks very much for the explanation. I missed the postings about the
Bugzilla voting changes.

There's no problem, so no need to apologise. I was just confused (my usual
state!!) and curious.

Abiword is a really excellent word processor and I am delighted with it. For
me, there are just two failings with it:

1) Can't print just all odd pages or just all even pages
2) Can't find/replace non-printing characters

Otherwise, I have found no problems at all

Cheers

Keith
