Did you notice the postings about versions and this being alpha 0.7.x?
What's supported at this level is moot. Whatever works is what you get.
The relevant question is, when (and if) templates will be implemented?
It's hard to find a definition of Abiword or their goals on the site
although a review states, "as one of the
goals of AbiWord is to be able to easily replace a Microsoft shop".
That is certainly not easily done.
