    I have installed Abiword in a Win98, but when writing in Spanish I high
    light the text, right click on the selected text and click on 'set
    language...', it does not matter if I chose spanish from Spain or
    Mexico, the words that have an accent don't appear with an accent but
    with an apostrophe. For instance teléfono in the dictionary appears as
    tel'efono.
    Is there a problem with the app or is it that I need to find a way to
    use another dictionary? I really don't know what it is. I am more of a
    Unix user, where I never found this kinds of problems and if I did...
    well I would be able to change settings at a more deeper level than
    'Tools -> Preferences...' >:~{

    TIA
