a article using abiword. It's rather nice to be able to keep a local
copy in a abiword format and then distribute in a ps and pdf format.
However, while using abiword, i found many problems and lacking features
that should be addressed in order to become fully productive. I'll list
a few.
gnome-print is broken.
2.) Insertion of images while using double spaced lines double space
the are taken by the image.
3.) Mouse wheel is too sensitive.
4.) The use of bmp files invert colors of red.
fashion is crucial
2.) A nice integration via bonobo between gnumeric, guppi, and
abiword. It would be absolutely great if I could
drag and drop graphs from guppi into abiword for articles, reports,
etc..
3.) A more direct way for exporting to ps and pdf. With my current
gnome-abiword, I have to print to a ps file, then create a pdf file with
ps2pdf. A save, print, print directly, export (ps, pdf) would be great.
4.) A option for text over image (set image as background)
