    Please be aware that 1.9.1 is an unstable development version. If you are a
    total newbie to AbiWord, I recommend that you use the stable 1.0.5
    (non-bidirectional) version, which you can download from:

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/setup_abiword.1-0-5.exe

    But please feel free to use the 1.9.1 version (when built for Windows) if you
    want to help us find bugs.

    Cheers - Stephen.
