Title: Abiword And Microsoft Word Documents Problem
Post by: clofland on June 01, 2006, 03:02:09 pm

Ok, I had to reflash my Z today, so I figured I would use Beta3.

When I open a document in AbiWord that was created with Microsoft Word, the text is ALL question marks.

Anyone have ANY ideas? I've scoured the web and the forums, but it appears it is supposed to "just work."

Thanks for any suggestions.

EDIT EDIT EDIT

FIX:
Remove abiword 2.4.2
Install abiword_2.4.0_armv5tel.ipk from the Beta2 feed here http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/...eta2/c760/feed/ (http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/1.1.0/beta2/c760/feed/)

All is happy again.

There is apparently a problem with the abiword 2.4.2 from here http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/1.1.0beta3...s-7x0-860/feed/ (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/1.1.0beta3/Zaurus-7x0-860/feed/)

I don't know if this will affect Beta4 and on or not.

Ditto for me ...

For me, using Meanie's updated version of Abiword fixes the problem (and you get some new features too):
