There is a solution
(thanks dom for clarifying)

you need to edit your Abiword.Profile
in unix that is in ~/.Abisuite/Abiword.Profile
in windows it is in C:\windows\Profiles\Application
Data\Abisuite\Abiword.Profile
(or something very close to that, i dont have windows in front of me right
at this minute)

the Abiword.Profile may contain several different profiles
you must make absolutely sure that you change
scheme name _custom_

if it does not work then thats probably what has gone wrong.

you need to add the line
DefaultSaveFormat=".txt"

I hope that answers your question.

Sincerely
Alan Horkan
