It wouldn't be the first time.

Will do. I've been working on the paragraph dialog box (I have the design
completely done in IElements, and am about 40% done coding it), i'll
attack the options once it's done.

Yeah, the problem is that i'm not doing the preview using Abiword calls,
and thus, can't get strikethrough and whatnot to work.
I just have to change it to update the preview using Abiword calls, rather
than straight BeOS (I.E. I'm using SetViewColor, SEtFOnt,etc).
It's only one or two routines to change.
I also have to copy the settings back so Abiword knows what happened.
