Wrong page sizes on opening .doc file


Subject: Wrong page sizes on opening .doc file

I have just installed the abiword-gnome-0.9.6.1-1.i386.rpm and other
supporting packages on my RedHat Linux 7.2 box.

On opening an MS Word .doc file for viewing and printing (using abiword
as an application helper in Netscape), I notice the following:

1. Warning message: Invalid seek

2. Warning message: Could not load the dictionary for the _none language
(this probably arises from a login set command that has not assigned an
environment variable?)

3. Warning message: Could not load the dictionary for the en_AU
(enGLISH-AUstralian) language

4. Warning message: Can't open
/usr/share/AbiSuite/dicyionary/british.hash

5. Under Page Setup, I get the paper size A6 and the dimensions 210 mm
(w) and 297 mm (h): the latter are correct for A4 paper (which is what
the doc file has) but the paper size is not.

I realize that errors 2 to 4 could arise from a mess up in my
language/locale/country environment variable settings but what about 1
and 5?

Thank you.
