    This is not supposed to be the case, thanks for the report.
    1) Upgrade to 2.0.4 just in case
    2) If still a problem, file bug report at bugzilla.abisource.com
    3) Attach test documents with descriptions (a minimal (ideally blank)
    document exported from Word that we cannot open, a minimal document
    exported from AbiWord that Word cannot open)
    4) Someone will cc the right people (I think hub might be interested but
    I wont speak for him)

    Thanks
