I think that you can find an answer in a preceding post: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...4&postcount=72
Basically, it depens from the version of libwv, which takes care of ms word conversions; current version (1.2.4) unfortunately doesn't work well in maemo environment.

There is already a patch for this,
See here: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10961
for the detailed progress in abiword bugzilla.
