Hello, an update.
I have now had time to try booting from the 4.3.1 CD with "pfix=ram" and installing Abiword and Libgoffice. This time it works well so it looks as though something left over from the 4.1.1 install is blocking it.
If people with more know-how than me agree I will have to do an "erase and replace" install of 4.3.1 and redo my custom settings manually.
Still any comments welcome.

Updated Abiword-2.8.2 plus all plugins, locales and docs
If redoing your "custom settings" is a significant task, since your problem is presumably caused by having an updated library which is broken/incompatible, have a look through your save file and you can probably manually clean out whatever is causing the problem.If people with more know-how than me agree I will have to do an "erase and replace" install of 4.3.1 and redo my custom settings manually.
e.g. go into /initrd/pup_rw/usr/lib/ and delete libgoffice-0.8.so.8 and its dependencies, then install it again.

Hello stiginge
A very non technical answer.
I sometimes need to distribute documents around a local charity committee some (most?) of whom I expect will be using MS Office of one version or another and have never had any complaints about things being unreadable after saving in Abiword using the option of "Microsoft Word .doc" as the file format. I'm not using a Puppy system ATM so I can't check the exact wording from the Abiword menu but it is something like that.
Someone with a propper explanation will probably be along soon but I hope thats some help.

Template Topo THD with Abiword
I want to do files for my Puppies. I chose Abiword instead of Gnumeric. Here is the result. Not bad, right ?
Of course, we must take the time to do it.

is there a new version ?
Perhaps 2.8.2 is the best.
2.8.6 must be considered as the las stable version until 3.0.0 prooves that the bugs of beta version 2.9 have gone
# abiword
abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
