    When AbiWord crashes, it can save a temporary file for you. Looked for
    filename.CRASHED

    Also, I might suggest things like enabling the auto-save feature, and
    hitting the "Save" icon from time to time (or Control-S).

    We will continue to keep adding features. Sorry that AbiWord crashed on
    you. But without more information, your bug report is useless to us.

    Sorry,
    Dom
