What timing. I just had a conversation today where someone came across bug
#563, which you fixed for AbiWord 0.7.8. (This is the bug where you open a
.doc file, edit, and then save. AbiWord used to save an AbiWord native
document with a .doc extension, meaning the resulting document would no
longer open)
They were not a happy camper, to say the least. I was thinking about
trying to identify some of AbiWord's least usable areas, and post them to
the list.
