When I copied the exact phrase "está bien" from Juan's email, I got the same
result as he reported. I'm running WIndows 98 2nd ed. However, when I type
into an editor the characters "esta bien" (using the Win98 standard US
English code page) and then paste them into AbiWord, they paste properly.
Juan's phrase uses an accented "a", mine does not. Looks like the problem
has something to do with character encoding.
