    "cut window" i am not sure what you mean.

    The toolbars in Abiword are a little too big for small screens
    http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=358

    On linux/unix the toolbars can be customised so this is less of a problem,
    but we need more people to help program the windows version to allow
    customisable toolbars

    No, i am very sorry but this is just not true. At home i have a small
    screen (and for the internet still have to use 56k modem)

    hopefully it will be possible to allow you to adapt the toolbars to
    larger screens, but it is not planned anytime soon. If you are a
    programmer (or you know a programmer) maybe you could add this feature.

    You should try the different view modes, and zoom levels maybe that will
    give you the layout you want.
