You might sponsor a developer, or put a few $ bounty on the delivery of this feature (and encourage others to do so), or failing that just ask really really nicely. Perhaps convince your employer to use abiword and sponsor a developer to add the features they want. The developers know this is an important feature and it is likely to be added eventually but we are all volunteers and it really depends on some one being interested/motivated enough to do it. That is the way things are but it got Abiword where it is today. I think it might be a good idea to have a message at the bottom of every email inviting donations, or sponsorship, or bounty on delivery of certain features. Currently we only do so in the Weekly news.
