Hi Jeremy, This bug is marked as wishlist but the good news is a fix was released on 12 August 2010, as per the update from Kiwinote above. I just tested this in the latest version (in Natty) by typing 'apt:abiword' in the Firefox address bar and Software Centre opened with AbiWord read to install. I believe you will need Software Centre from Maverick or Natty to experience this fix though - are you running an earlier version of Ubuntu?
