Thanks guys. Both of your suggestions were helpful. I queried for the earlier version of abiword and found it.
But when I tried to upgrade I was told I was missing four files or packages: gal >= .8 gnome-print >=.29 libgal.so.18 libgnomeprint.so.18 I've looked around online, and have found various versions of these, and have read that they also need certain packages, that maybe I need to upgrade gnome, and on and on. So I think I'm going to lay off upgrading abiword for now. Thanks nonetheless for your help.
