Hi, I'm sorry I guess I don't understand,
Either go back to 2.8.6 or go up to 2.9.3. I assume an important app like the default word processor version is tested before including it(?) But I don't know what's entailed in doing it. I'm just saying I don't have a stable default word processor in 12.04. Maybe there are other factors involved, I imagine dependencies can be complicated... Abiword 2.9.2 is broken. I've mentioned this on the Abiword mail list and they point out 2.9.2 is a developmental release - not for "public" use. No biggie, I'll use something else in the meantime for .doc files and the like...
