That was the first thing I tried. It produced a tab marker, but tabbing
did not work as expected. In general, I am having more trouble with
Kword today than I have had in the last year. Also with kmail, where
suddenly ctl-a just did not work. Printing in Kword also stopped. But
I remembered that installing cups when printing already worked would
disable printing in kword, so I checked. Sure enough, cups was installed
again (not by me). So I pkg_deleted it and Kword printing worked immediately.
I also have been seeing strange behaviour in Konqueror rendering of borders
around frames and selected <a...> entries. All of this behaviour is completely
new as of about three days ago. The problems with Kword started today.
I have rebooted my system twice already trying to clear whatever is going
wrong.
