The office category is where AbiWord itself shows up, as well as OpenOffice.org, evolution, Gnumeric, etc. This is a packaging error: an incorrect Desktop file in the help package.

When I search for 'abiword' in System -> Help and support, I don't any see help for abiword.

Also I get this error when installing abiword-help:

This bug is not relevant in Ubuntu 7.04 and later, because there is no longer an "Applications" category in Ubuntu Help. It is still relevant in Ubuntu 6.06, which is still supported.

Who is supposed to fix it? It's been open for an year now. Shall we wait
till Dapper is no longer supported and mark this invalid?
