Set Open Document ODT as default save format instead of ABW

[tuxmartin]

AbiWord's default .abw format is only used by AbiWord. Whether it's an open format or not, this makes it nonportable, and not good for interoperability or archival purposes.

Is it possible to set ODT (Open/LibreOffice OpenDocument Text ODT) format as default AbiWord format?

It is simple:
just add

<SystemDefaults
DefaultSaveFormat=".odt"
/>

to

/usr/share/abiword-2.9/system.profile
