    AbiWord does not support Macros or MSWord VB Scripts.

    You can open a .dot file if it is a simple template
    file. File->Open or File->Open Copy.

    If you have the Palm AbiWord plugin, you *may* be able
    to save that as a .pdb file, readable by some palm
    viewers.

    If AbiWord crashed when you loaded the file, please go
    to bugzilla.abisource.com and file a new bug. Please
    make sure to attach the file.
