Hi Piotr

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, it didn't work - I am using Abiword on 
Windows98, and this modified Profile file gets overwritten by either Abiword or 
Windows automatically and the default file format is changed back to Abiword format - 
.abw 

It looks like this is a new feature request then, as it appears to require a 
programmatical change.

Any other ideas?

Cheers, James
