    This is caused by www.abiword.com/style.css, which has the following,

    .content p, li, dl
    {
        font-family: "times", "times new roman", "charter", "utopia", serif;
        margin-left: .3in;
        margin-right: .3in;
        text-align: justify;
    }

    Which causes extra margin space to display in twiki and also causes the
    full justification problem. I don't see an easy way to fix that unless
    the <p> tag can be somehow excluded from style.css. In some tables you
    will see strange indentations for the same reason.

    Regards,
    Tim
