I have downloaded Abiword for Windows and Linux, and would like to
say that using the program is simple and intuitive. The small size of the
program is also a relief.
However I have to report that (as you are probably aware) the Word97 import
function does not work yet (I am referring to Abiword 0.74, which reports an
error when importing a very simple (no formatting) 20 kb text file saved by
Word97). If the program is to be my main textprocessor at home, it should
preferrably be capable of importing Word97 files I write at work.
If it is any help to you, I would be happy to email you the file.
Best regards
Karel Lindveld
