abiword problem

["Ralph M. Deal" <deal@xxxxxxxx>]

KLUGers, this is an appeal to Abiword users.  I installed abiword last
week based on recommendations from this list and found it quite a bit
faster on my slow, small RAM machine.  Other than not yet having tables,
it was an excellent word processor for my purposes.  Except for it not
recognizing numerical input from the numeric keypad.  Yes, I did have Num
lock on.  I could find no reference to this situation
in any of the posted options/preferences.  That keypad works in most
other situations, including raw console input.

Any ideas or work-arounds?
	Best,   Ralph  deal@kzoo.edu
