Had a little play with this... doing imports/re-exports with files
in abiword seems to work fine, in most cases - apart from png files
not being processed (I guess this is an intended "feature" at this
time :>).
My original work document
still falls over though, even if I do a straight save-as rtf, close
abiword, open abiword and open the rtf file. Maybe it has nothing
to do with embedded graphics. Word can open the rtf file no problem.
