You might vote for the bug in bugzilla
You might sponsor a developer, or put a few $ bounty on the delivery of
this feature (and encourage others to do so), or failing that just ask
really really nicely. Perhaps convince your employer to use abiword and
sponsor a developer to add the features they want.
The developers know this is an important feature and it is likely to be
added eventually but we are all volunteers and it really depends on some
one being interested/motivated enough to do it. That is the way things
are but it got Abiword where it is today.
I think it might be a good idea to have a message at the bottom of every
email inviting donations, or sponsorship, or bounty on delivery of
certain features. Currently we only do so in the Weekly news.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
