Re: Abiword documentation

I wouldn't worry about it as much as I might worry about the Death of
Privacy in the 21st century :)

Seriously, though. MsWord OLE docs have 2 metadata streams, called
"\05SummaryInformation" and "\05DocumentSummaryInformation". Both of
them happen to have a codepage, so the code prints the codepage twice.

around line 212.

Cheers,
Dom
