I am assuming you are using Mdk 9.0, if so you can find Abiword and plugins here: ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS/ You can add a "contrib" source to your Software Installer with Software Sources Manager, then install using urpmi. Contrib contains a lot of good stuff. HTH. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** *Reg.
