Hi Vishnu,
Current generation web browsers cannot handle the markup codes
needed to make this owrk. John Clark (our HTML guru) is aware of the
problem.
It may be worthwhile for abiword to export using these markup constrcuts
as a way of putting pressure on browser designers to incorporate these
features.
Cheers
