Hi Yesterday newsgroup alt.comp.freeware had a AbiWord question. See quote below.
<quote> From: Cry8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: alt.comp.freeware Subject: Abiword templates Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Newsreader: MicroPlanet Gravity v2.50 Lines: 6 Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2002 22:15:19 GMT X-Received-Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2002 14:15:21 PST (newsmaster1.prod.itd.earthlink.net) Xref: dp-news.maxwell.syr.edu alt.comp.freeware:137363 Are there any templates available for Abiword ( predefined letters, etc.)? I don't see any on the website. Or are there any other freeware word processors that have templates for use? Thanks C8 </quote> There hasn't been any answer yet. 1. Could one of you guys reply to the sender. I know that the latest release 0.99.3 has a new File/New/Template dialogue, but I don't know if you can use templates using the previous versions. 2, Is there any downloadable templetes (URL?) for AbiWord. The templates dialogue has a few ready made templates. 3. I can select an existing template from my templates directory (create new document from template) via the templates dialogue. The problem is that I see the whole filename path. At least in my system I just see part of the templates name becase the dialogue isn't wide enough. I can select the templates name but I can't scroll the line to the right to see the whole name. Maybe it would be better that you don't show the path, just the file name. Maybe the title could show my templates directory path if you want to see the path. Because it is always the AbiSuite/templates directory we really don't need the whole path? PS. I am using the windows version if that makes any difference. The alt.comp.freeware newsgroup is mainly windows oriented so I think the question was of the windows version. -- Ismo Mäkinen
