Hub, Thank you for your willingness to try. While working with a test .odt file to send you (attached), I discovered an explanation or work-around or analysis or something that might be of use to others with a similar problem. It turns out that abiword was reading the page size as 612 inches by 792 inches and showing the centered heading only. So, I couldn't find the text. Perhaps the .odt file is written badly (by KWord 3.5 if I recall correctly) or 2.9.2 looks in the wrong place for page size. In any event, it's easy to fix page setup. Result is that I can edit my old .odt files with abiword 2.9.2, and I am happy. I look forward to a long association with abiword. Ron > If you have the document I can try.
