Save as PDF and image quality in 2.7.5


Hi all,

In latest developpement version of Abiword, one can save as PDF. The 
resulting PDF file is small(great, it means images are compressed 
contrary to version 2.6.8) but the quality of images is poor. It is not 
a lossless compression I guess.
Is there a way to set the quality of the exported images ?
(either from command line or by editing a config file or before the build)

Thanks

Accented letters using US keyboard


Hi all,

I am using a US keyboard and I need to write French texts in Abiword.
How can I type accented letters without going each time into the menu 
"Insert > Symbol..." or Ctrl+M ?
Something like "Super_key + ` + e" to get "e grave"

I use Abiword 2.6.8 on Xubuntu 9.04

Thanks

A few questions

Hi everyone,

I started using AbiWord 2.4.6 on Win98 - polish version.
I downloaded AbiWord and separately polish dictionary.

When I open a document I got message that the polish language dictionary 
isn't available... Why?

The second problem is when I save a document - is it possible to set for 
example .rtf as a default format? I don't want to save my documents in 
AbiWord native format, and I dont't want use 'Save As...' everytime I 
save my new document...

Thanks in advance
Michal

Equation Editor -- fonts required?


AbiWord 2.6.8, downloaded from Sourceforge
Plugins and Import/Export installed
Windows XP SP3

I'm having a bit of trouble with the equation editor. If I click Insert > Equation > From LaTeX, I get the LaTeX
Equation dialog. So far, so good.

If I type in something really simple, like y=mx+b, it displays after I click Insert. Something a little more
complex, like \frac{3\pi }{2} displays a fraction, but the fraction it displays is 3¼/2. If I type
\sqrt{2}, I get vminus over t times the quantity of 2 (a v with a superscript of a minus sign directly above a
t, times a 2 in parentheses). Similarly, \int {x\,dx} displays as Rx dx.

It's obvious that special symbols aren't being displayed. My assumption is that these should be drawn by
fonts, and my system must not have the fonts, hence AbiWord is substituting what it thinks is the next best thing.

What fonts should I look for in my fonts folder?

Also, in standard mathematics typesetting, variables are italicized. Is there an equation editor
options panel where I can set this? How about the font? It's sans-serif, but I want a serif font.

Thanks,
Bob Mathews

Inserted Graphics


I have several documents into which I have inserted photos in JPG format.  
I have saved these documents as both RTF and DOC files. Abiword handles  
them in either format quite well. However, when I try to view them through  
either Microsoft Word or Open Office, the inserted JPGs don't show. some  
of the people I'm sending these files to don't use Abiword. How can I make  
these photos visible to them?

Protected table cells


Is it possible to protect cells in a table from being edited?

I couldn't seem to find a way. Using Abiword 2.6.8.

Yours,

Morten

Re: line break


Hi, Bernd.

I just realized that something like this

<p style="Normal" xid="45" props="text-align:left; font-size:9pt"><c props="lang:de-DE;
font-size:9pt">[nachname(x)] [vornamen(x)]</c><c props="lang:de-DE; font-size:9pt">,
[konfession(x)]</c><c props="lang:de-DE; font-size:9pt">, [nachname([inrvater(x)])] [vornamen([inrvater(x)])]</c></p>

keeps all the content in a line, but this

<p style="Normal" xid="45" props="text-align:left; font-size:9pt">
<c props="lang:de-DE; font-size:9pt">[nachname(x)] [vornamen(x)]</c>
<c props="lang:de-DE; font-size:9pt">, [konfession(x)]</c>
<c props="lang:de-DE; font-size:9pt">, [nachname([inrvater(x)])] [vornamen([inrvater(x)])]</c>
</p>

breaks lines. Actually, if you put text between </c> and <c> it appears in the
document.

So you can achieve what you want removing line breaks in the XML.

Greetings

ATTN: AbiWord v2.7.2 Released!


AbiWord v2.7.2 Released

The AbiWord team joyfully announces AbiWord v2.7.2, the third snapshot
of the development that will lead to AbiWord 2.8.

This snapshot allows interested developers, testers and users a sneak
preview into the future of AbiWord.

The changes from v2.7.1 to v2.7.2 include, amongst others:

  * Add support for uppercase, lowercase, and capitalized character
    styles (text transforms; no user-interface for it yet)
  * Merge the abiword-extras module back into abiword, and add
    --enable-clipart and --enable-templates build options
  * Create a new MSVC2008 build system to make the Windows release

The full Changelog can be found here.

We are very much interested in any bug you may find. Please report these
to http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.

While we encourage people to try out the new snapshot, please be aware
that is a development snapshot and is not expected to be stable in any
sort of way.

Availability: http://www.abisource.com/download/development.phtml.

line break


Hello,
I write for a genealogy program an export template. The template I would 
like to create into xml abiword.
An example for better understanding.

<p style="Normal" xid="2" props="keep-together:yes"><c 
props="text-decoration:underline; lang:de-DE">Text Unterstrichen Größe 
12</c><c props="text-decoration:underline; lang:de-DE"></c></p>
<p style="Normal" xid="3"><c props="font-style:italic; lang:de-DE">Text 
Kursiv Größe 12</c><c props="font-style:italic; lang:de-DE"></c></p>

Text Unterstrichen Größe 12
Text Kursiv Größe 12

How can I prevent the line break between the two lines.

Regards Bernd

AbiWord in the media


FYI: AbiWord was briefly mentioned in passing by John C Dvorak on This
Week in Tech (twit.tv) this week:

http://twit.tv/196

It was just around the 20-minute mark in the context of talking about
Windows 7 Started Edition as a cheap alternative. He instead said to
just use Ubuntu, and mentioned AbiWord as "a beautiful clone of Windows,
uh, Word 2003."
