Technical Title: AbiWord 2.4.5 for Windows Requirements: Dictionaries exist for over 30 languages. AbiWord is available in most common and many not-so-common languages. Use tables, bullets, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes and styles to enhance the way your document looks.ĪbiWord comes in many different languages.

Give your document that professional, scientific or fun-to-read look using AbiWord's advanced document layout options.

So while Abiword has the perfect environment for the kind of writing I do (moreso than any other word processor for linux), given all its bugs I'm just not sure if I can trust it with my files.AbiWord is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages and many more. There are also some interface issues - for instance, a lot of drop down lists are missing scrollbars, such as the font selector, which makes it really annoying to change fonts. That’s only happened to me once, and I haven’t been able to reproduce it. Even the word wrap acts funny - it left the first leffer of a word hanging on the end of the previous line until it suddenly realised it had to reformat halfway through the next line. But then LibreOffice was weirdly able to read it, although there was an unexplained box around the text. It couldn’t even open a very simple odt file it had saved itself - the document was blank. Most word processors seem to be trying to outdo each other in how cluttered and bloated they can be, but AbiWord keeps it simple and clean. I like the minimalism of the AbiWord interface.
