I think that you will be flooded with Word Documents that don't
necessarily crash AbiWord, but instead don't display properly.
When you ask for documents that don't work properly, people will
start sending tables, imported images, embedded object docs not
to mention the fact that I've been receiving a lot of *.doc documents
that were actually RTF documents (I think that we have discussed
this before rtf's masquerading as docs .. all the more reason not
to trust the extension!).
Just a warning that we will likely get more than we bargained
for =;-)
