2.0.1 is relatively ancient, and did not have the grammar plugin. It
seems likely that this is your problem. You can disable it in the
Tools, Plugins window, and if that fixes the problem, you can
permanently uninstall it by moving the AbiGrammar.dll file out of
c:\program files\abisuite2\abiword\plugins\ or using the tools plugin
uninstaller (on windows). Removing the plugin on Linux is somewhat
different depending on your distribution.
