Hi There,

Can you check what version of abiword you're using as I've just tried using it, and the help file is loaded from disk in my web browser as file:///usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/help/en-US/index.html

This is using version 2.4.5. Can you check your version number please?

I've just installed abiword-gnome and abiword-help on edgy to test this and my help brings up the same as Paul Campbell. My package versions are the same as yours but I am not getting the same problem as you. Have you had the help working properly on a previous version or is this the first version you have installed?
