Additionally, I was just now able to insert these files into a document with OpenOffice. I'm sure the problem is one with how I installed abiword; but there is no way for me to know what it might be. I installed the abiword rpm's I downloaded from the web site; I remember I had to install with -nodeps because it kept complaining that I didn't have all the dependencies, even after I went through the dependencies one by one and verified they were there.
Maybe abiword just isn't compatible with Mandrake? On Mon, 2002-10-07 at 13:08, Rob Woodard wrote: > I have installed abiword 1.0.3 on Mandrake 8.2.
