I feel like I should file and bug report asking to add some of this
information to the Documentation
http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/interface/dialogfield.html

or maybe I could more easily add it to the FAQ instead
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/AbiWordFAQ

but if any users interested in helping out and looking to try
something then perhaps this is just the task they are looking for.

(If no one else adds either of these I'll try and remember to do them
later in the week.)

Sincerely

Alan Horkan
