SAMBA Abiword Difficulty with .doc files

#1 Post by Rhino »

When I search my other Windows shared folder with LinNeighborhood (SAMBA?) and I click to open a .doc file, Abiword opens several blank windows...none of them showing the document.

If I then Open Abiword (or OO.o2.0) and open the file from the File...open menu, it loads in just fine.

I would think that clicking on a .doc file in a Rox window should open the file in default word processor.

Well...now I have! :oops:

I had changed it over to Swriter and it was fine, but the on-screen text rendering was quite poor. Much better in Abiword.

Works perfectly in either one now with sp106.

Thanks for the quick response and sorry about the oversight on my part.
