Wine Worpad

Hello


Thanks for your input


I had tried AbiWord  but was unhappy with its Default Save option to its own AWT
Checking on Google It appears that it can be changed but only using the Terminal.

Q: How can I make AbiWord save my files in MS Word (*.doc) format by default?[color=rgb(0, 43, 184)][/size][/color][/size]Ubuntu GNU/Linux(tested on Ubuntu 9.04)Go to Applications -> Accessories -> and open a Terminal[/q]

• [size=6px]sudo gedit /usr/share/abiword-2.6/system.profile Change this content:[/size]

• [size=6px]<SystemDefaults /> Adding this line:[/size]

• [size=6px]<SystemDefaults DefaultSaveFormat=".doc" /> Save and close the text editor, and close the terminal.[/size]

• [li][size=2px]Note for developers: Is desirable to add a field on the preferences GUI, to make possible the user selects any format in a list as default.[/l]
  
  
  
  Because of the need to be very exact with terminal commands I am not confident about using it .Seeing as the command was supplied I copied and pasted it and got the following result .
  
  colin@colin-NC110:~$ sudo gedit /usr/share/abiword-2.6/system.profile
  [sudo] password for colin:
  sudo: gedit: command not found
  colin@colin-NC110:~$

  As often happens I am left with a further problem to solve my original problem that  I expected  would be solved in AbiWord GUIColin
