When you said Abiword, I suspect you meant Gnumeric ? It would be nice
to see the openoffice file to understand why the import did not work
properly. It should have.

Hmm, I don't see any truncated text in either bill nor bill2 using the
gnumeric development version. I'll be trying 1.2.5 later today. Which
version of Gnumeric and libgnomeprint/libgnomeprintui are you using?

this shouldn't have anything to do with text truncation but it is
unusual.

This is puzzling.
