Nopes, but this isn't like the clipper feature, <sarcasm>which we all expect in 
AbiWord XP</sarcasm>.

On another matter, although word has some problems, it's probably microsoft's most 
used application throughout the world, and many features will be missed in abiword.

It is a necessary comparison.
Of course, we should not make a fully featured calculation engine, but if one came up 
as a bonobo control, for instance, our simple one could be removed from gnome builds 
in favor of the bonobo one.
