I absolutely agree with Alan!

Use the feature and report problems when it does not give satisfactory
results. Write a up a bug report and submit it our bugzilla. In the case
of importers, writing a good bug report is easy. Just attach the file
that failed to load correctly (or at all) and tell us of the problem.
The problem will then get fixed and everyone wins.

See here:

http://bugzilla.abisource.com/

Doing this will really and truely greatly improve AbiWord's odt support.

I greatly miss the fantastic bug reports I used to get from "sum1". He
spent many hours doing this and his efforts really significantly
improved AbiWord.

Best wishes,

Martin
