Woah! I only said that Word exporter work would be /started/ in the next
few weeks (I'd like so start now, but there's a lot on at University at the
moment - term ends in two weeks though, so [even though I'll have a full
time job] I think I'll have more time for 'other things' like AbiWord).
Hopefully I'll have a few simple patches (probably plain-text type export,
hopefully with attribute [i.e. bold, italic etc] handling) up and the
framework in place for a full solution this month, but there'll inevitably
be some hitches, so don't go hoping for full round-trippable Word export
just yet :-)
Jamie.
P.S. Has anyone tried the importer patches yet? Are they working (better or
worse than before)? Has anyone tried them on OS/CPU combinations which
aren't Linux/Intel?
