Bo,
I took the liberty of adding your comments from a previous post to this
page on the AbiWord TWiki:
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/FaqWhyIsMyTextOverwrittenAsIType
If you have any comments please let me know, or modify the page
appropriately yourself, as it is a Wiki (TWiki).
As you learn other things about AbiWord that might be of use to others
please feel welcome to create a new TWiki page (or add it to an
appropriate existing TWiki page).
regards,
Randy Kramer
