Thanks for tip. This version seems to solve my problem.

I've been looking at this since yesterday morning I think it was that
they changed their site to show v2.0.9
http://www.abisource.com/release-notes/2.0.9.phtml
<q>Fixes in 2.0.9 warranting the hotfix release:
Fix a regression in this stable branch to respect internal API
Fix another build-breaking problem, this with GTK API misuse

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you,
especially our dear downstream maintainers.

The full ChangeLog can be found here. We strongly encourage all users to
upgrade to this latest stable release.

While AbiWord 2.0.9 is stable and ready for production use, you might run
into a previously unknown bug. If so, we'd really appreciate it if you
would take some time to file a report in our bug database.</q>

But all of the sourceforge downloads still are 2.0.8 I even installed one
of them this morning and sure enough it's 2.0.8. So I suppose the update
hasn't populated the download mirrors yet? I'll just keep watching. :)
 
If it's there, I can't find it.

URL is no good. Everything keeps point to version 2.08

When somebody does indeed succeed in finding a real, viable
download for version 2.09 ... a direct URL to the actual product would
be greatly appreciated by most users in a.c.f.

Hope it's better than 2.0.8. Spell checking, using the U.K.
dictionary, didn't appear to work here.

Regards, John.
