Windows Millennium Edition
AbiWord pre-2.0.1
In a version 1.99.X I managed to make a .abw
document that would not open, it would continually be
busy. I was waiting for version 2 in hopes it would
fix my problem, but pre-2.0.1 still had the problem.
The problem seems to be with documents with multiple
sections, as is the case with the document that would
not open. In one version of AbiWord I was able to set
the Page size to less than the margins of the other
sections, though for that section the page margins and
page size were valid. I was able to fix the document
by using a text editor to go into the .abw file and
manually change the page margins for each section.
I think the problem with AbiWord is that page
margins apply to each section, at the time I did not
realize the changes I was making were only applying to
that section, while the Page size applies to the whole
document. I think either Page size should apply to
each section as does Page margins or there should be a
check when changing Page size to see that Page margins
do not leave room for the text in any or one of the
Sections. It would also be a good idea to have a
radio button in Page margins to apply them to all
Sections, I think this should be the default setting
for that button.
