Hi all,
I was enthousiastically using AbiWord 0.99 yesterday, opening an existing MS Word 2000 file and saving this as a .abw file. I was happily writing some text and changing things for about 30mins, saving regularly. I then closed AbiWord and tried to load the .abw file, and it claims that "File ..... is an invalid document". This behaviour also occurs if I just open the .doc and without changing a thing save as .abw. It seems to me that AbiWord should never ever write a corrupt file in its native file format (although I have seen MS Word do this). Any ideas how this can happen? Greetings, Michiel Toneman P.S. Last week I lost 3 hours of work when OpenOffice saved all the files I was working on in 0 bytes (how is that for compression). I've had it with word processors, back to good old vim and LaTeX for me.... -- @MSTERDAM /// VirTube Prins Hendrikkade 22 A/E 1012 TM AMSTERDAM http://www.apenstaartje.nl http://www.virtube.com Tel. +31 (0)20 6755140 PGP: http://public.apenstaartje.nl/keys/toneman.asc
