        Hi
        I am a new user of abiword, but it looks like a great editor to
me. However, I miss (or just can't find) some features, so I have a lot
of
questions. I am running version 7.14 under linux.

a) Can't it handle tables?

b) Can I adjust the quality (and therefore the speed) of the printing?

c) When I type help, it opens a Konqueror window and I have to look for
the help files. How can I redirect the help to access the help files
directly?

d) Can I save in msword (.doc) format (I have to share files with
Windows' users)?

e) I configured netscape navigator to open some files directly with
abiword, but when cliking on the files (in a mail message for instance)
it just opens abiword but without accessing the files. How to make this
feature to work?

f) By the way, I've downloaded abiword from:
             http://www.abisource.com/dl_linux_intel.phtml
Why is it in Portuguese? Can I change that?

        Thanks to all.
        Afonso
