    Up to now I have had no problems with printing in Abi. However I have now
    installed version 1 and I cannot get printing to work.

    I am trying to print an email which I have done successfully before as
    follows.

    I save the email to my documents folder.
    Start Abi and use File/Open.
    I open the new file which is I assume is a text file, although there is no
    extension to the name.
    I change the font to Helvetica and save the file as an Abi file by adding
    .abw to the name.
    I then go to File/Print. I use Turboprint so I change lpr to lpr -Ptp0.
    Click on Print.

    Up to now this has worked fine. Now in version 1 I find that Normal has
    changed to Block Text and I get a load of rubbish.

    As a further test I created a small document in Abi and tried to print it
    with the same rubbish result. Again Normal was changed to Block Text and
    this was not an imported file???

    Can anyone help? If not I will go back to the earlier version of Abi which
    worked fine, thank you very much.

    TIA

    Neil
