Dear and esteemed Dom, In very ancient times, six month ago, very friendly, you gave me a way to change the model saved as � normal.awt � = ------ > Do not hand-edit this file. Using abiword, change your page > size to whatever you'd like via the File->Page Setup dialog, > change your style definitions using the Format->Styles dialog, > set the background color to grey by using Format->Background, > and then: > File->Save As /usr/local/Abisuite/templates/normal.awt > Not so hard :-) ~~ Dom ------ I was not returning on the question because I'm a great lazy old man ! But now, I've a little changed the things : I'm on a Mandrake 8.2, with AbiWord-1.0.1 (perfect) and I would try to resolve always the same problem = - my screen displays in 1024x768 pixels - at opening, AbiWord shows a truncated grey background ( with un- completed indications on the lowest toolbar ). - on that grey background, is shown the white page where I will be able to write, when I will have pushed the grey backword right limit to the right border, with as first result to obtain a complete plain white page. - well! all is correct, I am ready to write !... In spite of my bad english is it clear ?
What I'm hoping to be able to do ? To find somewhere the possibility (in options or in a script) to give to AbiWord the correct instructions to induce it to give me AT OPENING, and without I have nothing to do, a complete grey background, with the white page complete at choiced dimensions noted in your file ;-)), even if that opening-document is not full screen, because I like to have possibility to click icons on the right of the abiword document... Is it possible, Doctor, without to kill the patient ? Is it not too hard :-) ?
