We have .abw files?  Wow!  I'll look for a solution to that... I don't
really want to add abiword to the COE again.  I may just install Abiword
somewhere and open and save those docs as rtf.

.pmd files are Pagemaker files.  We have only one license for Pagemaker, so
it's installed on the machine with dual monitors near the front of the
office.

Yeah, we got rid of the big yellow ? some time ago.  Please update the
answer book if you have time.

Well, the search is there.

But there aren't any questions in the archive related to this.  You're the
first. :)

Hope this helps.  Thanks for bringing the AbiWord situation to my attention.
