    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.
