Re: Abiword file format

The reason why we have to stick to the default abw format is discussed
in the abiwiki here [1].

However AbiWord can load and save files in many different formats [2].
If you want to change the default format, you can do it yourself by
some configurations. [3] discusses how to set to MS-Word as the
default format, which can be done for any of the formats.
