Thanks.. this rpm. worked like a charm.   Why do you think that with 
Abiword coming on the install disks it is not listed in the yum updates?

Also.. my I ask a OT questions...... As a 'light user'  of a word and 
excel types of programs... I personaly found OO too much .... hard to 
explain exactly what I mean...
So I tried gnomeric and abiword...  I do notice and abi word cannot 
handle some of my old word templetes and OO writer can.
Why do you use... abiword or gnumeric v OO....  Just wondering... 
basicly.. trying to figure out .. (as a new linux convert) which Office 
product I am going to invest in learning aobut.
