Bug in 0.7.4 - Formatted Text Clipboard

I'm using AbiWord 0.7.4 on Windows 95.

When I copy from Acrobat, and past into AbiWord, I often (not
always) get extra "junk" at the end of the pasted text.

No biggie, but thought I'd report it.

I would be good to select whether you get formatted or text-only
cut'n'paste.

Also, some cut'n'paste involves ligatures. (fl ffl ff fi ffi...)
In 0.7.3, some of these would generate form-feeds. If the file
were saved while these were still in, it wouldn't load. I haven't
tried to reproduce this at this point. One ligature that caused a
problem came in as hex '14', if that helps any...

Sorry to report these. The product is still wonderful!

Thanks again!
