(That > is strictly a guess, it could be earlier, it could be later.) I have to say that not supporting tables is a pretty spectacular omission for version "1.0" of a word processor! For that reason AbiWord is no use to me at the moment; every document I work with has multiple tables and some of those complex (cells spanning columns and other tricks). I'd say any technical document is almost bound to contain tables of one sort or another ... That said, if it wasn't for that mistaken (IMO) omission AbiWord is a very impressive package and, if there's beta testing, I shall set my documents on it (if its table support can cope with them it can cope with anything ...).
