Im making an Assumption that .dot==.doc?
Microsoft Word Document Template == Microsoft Word Document the )

PROBLEM:
but i cannot get Abiword to open .dot files
various attempts to open it result in the following string:
ÐÏࡱ

WORKAROUND:
if i rename them to .doc Abiword can open them.

TEST CONDITIONS:
im testing using the files included with office 2000
in particular i am testing with a file called "Contemporary Fax.dot"
im using the nightly builds on Windows 2000 and Windows 98.

PS Please point me to a bugzilla tutorial/manual/correct usage
intructions and i will start adding to bugzilla as well as posting them
to the list (or whatever is most appropriate).
