Thank you for a very prompt response.

I have done as you suggested but still an error message:-( However, it is
different, this time. See below

zed@zed-desktop ~ $ abiword -m
/home/zed/Documents/Clients/GHI/HKI/Form_Letters/
Christmas/Xmas-HKI.csv -p /home/zed/Documents/Clients/GHI/HKI/
Form_Letters/Christmas/Xmasmerge.abw
Error: no file to print!
