    Hi,

    Two questions...

    I've just started using AbiWord (version 2.0.2, running in Windows XP
    Home Edition) and I'm having trouble getting the language setting to
    stay as UK English. It loads with the default of US English. I've tried
    putting a line in the abiword.profile file with Notepad, as recommended
    in the FAQ, but it just keeps getting removed the next time I run AbiWord.

    I did have the idea of setting the document language to UK, then saving
    it as the default template, but if I put a footnote in, I'm back in US
    again. There's probably a simple solution that's staring me in the
    face, but I can't see it! It's driving me up the wall! :-)

    I also saw on the website that there are filters for loading
    OpenOffice.org files, but they don't seem to be included in the Windows
    template installation. How do I get them?

    It would be nice to get these things sorted out, because AbiWord seems
    the ideal WP for running on my rather old laptop. I need the
    functionality of OOo for some of my freelance editing work, but for
    everyday writing, when I've got the WP, the Encylopaedia Britannica, the
    Atlas and Mozilla running at the same time, AbiWord seems a more
    sensible choice.

    Thanks,
