This sounds like a plug-in problem. The easiest way to fix it is to
uninstall AbiWord and then remove the AbiSuite2 folder in Program Files
(usually located at C:\Program Files\AbiSuite2\). Make sure to backup
any custom files that may reside in that directory before removing it.

If you still encounter a crash after performing those two steps and
reinstalling, you may be running into Bug 7057
(http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7057), which can be
worked around by installing the WordPerfect plug-in along with other
plug-ins rather than alone.
