Two related questions:
The latest release may have some fixes to the MSWord .doc file import.
However I get the reply "not found on this server" when I attempt to
download. Any explanation??? Can I use FTP instead?
When I attempted to import a poetry document prepared in .doc format the
lines were run on. Apparently AbiWord didn't recognize the line breaks.
When I looked at the document with "less" (I use Linux) the line breaks
were displayed as ^M characters. Since this is for a potential customer
I can't very well go back to him and say "I can't read your doc file,
send me plain text."
I use abiword version 0.7.11 currently.
