    I've basically quoted the contents of this email on:

    http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/preview/Wikilearn/AbiWordFaqTemplates

    along with a paraphrase of a comment by Alan Horkan.

    If you have any comments, suggestions, objections or whatever, let me
    know, or, modify the page yourself as it is a wiki. ;-)

    regards,
    Randy Kramer
