Some things I notice, abiword 2.0.5 win2k.
have associated the doc extensiom with abiword.
1. Some .docs when I double click do not render as a
word document but see below for a snip of what i get:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0
{\fonttbl
{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0\fprq2\fttruetype Verdana;}
{\f1\fswiss\fcharset0\fprq2\ftnil NULL;}
{\f2\fswiss\fcharset0\fprq2\ftnil Dingbats;}
{\f3\froman\fcharset0\fprq2\fttruetype Symbol;}
{\f4\fswiss\fcharset0\fprq2\fttruetype Arial;}
{\f5\froman\fcharset0\fprq2\fttruetype Times New Roman;}
{\f6\fmodern\fcharset0\fprq1\fttruetype Courier New;}}
{\colortbl......
2. Most .docs when double clicked cause abiword to crash upon
opening - I submitted a bugzilla with the drwatson log - and
was told via bugzilla it is a know bug and being worked on.
3. If I open abiword itself and then drag over .doc's, most
of them will not open. I get an error message: "mypaper.doc
is not a currently supported file type." And the file can not
be viewed. Again .doc is associated w/abiword and all the files
have the ant icon after I associated them(?)
4. If I right click then say "open with" abiword I have better
success at getting .doc's to render. I noticeed something weird,
with some .docs. In the format toolbar. The dropdown menu the
leftmost were "normal" then below "numbered heading 1", ect...
re. applying fonts to the doc. - well, at the top of this drop down
I see two lines of garbage text - some alien type looking chars.
Definitely should not be there.
