The following color-coded matrix describes the current extent of support for various features in AbiWord. There's an explanation of the text in each cell at the bottom of this document.

Legend

To tell if a particular feature is complete across the entire product, look across that row. Likewise, to tell if a particular portion of the product is completely up to date, look down that column.

C PROPS

1. Waiting for the creation of a well-defined focus model to allow keyboard traversal of toolbar combo boxes.

1. Paragraph dialog still doesn't have tri-state drop-downs
2. RTF import of line spacing works, but tool bar controls don't recognize the spacing.
3. Only left align tabs are supported
4. The option is in the paragraph dialog, but it doesn't do anything.
5. Does RTF even support this? Perhaps this should be n/a instead?
6. Word changes tab stop on a document level, not paragraph level, so it is unclear this can be supported
7. This can't be effectively tested until AbiWord actually supports it in the view

Styles

1. Custom styles are not listed in toolbar yet.
2. Style information is collapsed into explicit properties, instead of defining and referencing the underlying styles.
3. Waiting for the creation of a well-defined focus model to allow keyboard traversal of toolbar combo boxes.

Field

	View	Dialog	Keyboard	Toolbar	AbiWord	RTF	doc	htm	txt
field	(1)	no	no	n/a?	i,e	#635	#634	no	#636

1. More field types need to be spec-ed and implemented.

Other features

1. The Word import engine can handle lists and tables, but AbiWord doesn't know what to do with them.
2. We might wish to convert table boundaries to tab stops as interim solution
